I heard that desiccants need to be installed at the vent openings of gasoline tanks in gas stations; I’m not sure why.

I heard that desiccants need to be installed at the vent openings of gasoline tanks in gas stations; I’m not sure why. GB 50156 also does not mention this.

This is designed to prevent dew from forming inside the fuel tank. The function of the desiccant is to absorb moisture from gasoline, thereby preventing water from condensing into droplets on the surface of the fuel tank, and thus reducing contamination of the gasoline by oxidizing substances that can form as a result of accumulated water. -

In that case, a desiccant should also be installed at the vent of the diesel tank.

Yes, a desiccant also needs to be installed in the ventilation port of the diesel tank to reduce water accumulation and contamination inside it. Therefore, desiccants are also placed in the ventilation openings of the diesel tanks to prevent gasoline contamination. -

Yes, methanol also has this requirement. There is no gasoline or diesel
