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?
It could be but when I think of algae I think black. It look like black slime. It takes a while for it to turn black though. When young it's kinda clear and real sticky. This is what glued up my shut off solenoid in my diesel.
Any water in a HP common rail is bad. For the 6.4 it REAL bad.
