Alright, since nobody wants to sell me their 6.7L PSD truck by the lb., let me ask a serious question.......
I haven't seen any discussion on this, but I have had some thoughts after something that happened to me recently.
A while back I dumped out some older diesel fuel that I had stored in a sealed plastic container.
In the fuel was a large glob of what I believe to be algae. It was a nasty green glob. This plastic container was not contaminated before I saved this fuel from the frame filter (primary) on my 2008 6.4L work truck.
So, was this algae? What effects would something like this have on these newer fuel systems?
