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?
If it is algae, it is pretty routinely found in diesel storage tanks.
It is just filtered out with a standard filter / water blocker membrane and the fuel used.
Dino diesel (not biodiesel) is relatively stable in storage, unlike gasoline.
