Google: bad tank of diesel - one can even find stations taking responsibility for it.
That's why we have fuel filters.
And even those fail.
I did as suggested and found quite a few posts. The one I thought was most useful was . . .
http://www.diesel-fuels.com/bad-diesel-fuel.php
Where they explain in a lot of detail what can lead to bad fuel problems. So one tip I got from that is it is not a good idea to let your vehicle sit for long periods of time with fuel in the tank as the fuel can break down and degrade. I would seem that no matter what you put in the tank there is always a chance that various factors can cause the fuel in the tank to go bad as a lot of junk with scientific names will eventually build up in just about any diesel fuel tank. Which is why we always carry spare filters and know how to change them.
