alot depends on the storage tank material ie steel gets alot of condensation in it and water is what the fungus feed on. if you have alot of temperature swings on a steel tank kills you. you can definily smell bad diesel it smells horrible just like you can smell old varnishy gas. a google search of BIOCIDE is what kills the bacteria. or asking for the local parts store for biocide will get you dirty looks and they wont find it on their computer. power service is a great stabilizer but doesnt kill bacteria and is not intended to kill bacteria. alot of gas stations etc and new tanks are going to a fiberglass tank (probably not truly fiberglass but plasticy looking from the looks of it looks like fiberglass dont know exactly the composition or what it is made out of i cant help you there but idealy they supposedly dont sweat as much dont ever rust out need paint etc that is the way to go
