[QUOTE="Topper1, post: 133226, member: 22814"] I have had similar issues in the past. Dirty (water in fuel) from gas station, dirty fuel and old fuel from transport tanks and storage tanks. Most diesel treatments have the required additives to handle the potential issues described. Storage and transport tanks should always be fitted with an outlet filter can. Gas cans should always have a fine screen installed. Most come with one. In my case, my 2 "field machines", I have installed a DIY removable fine mesh screen basket on the filler neck. These 2 units fuel regularly from a number of sources, some questionable. Old farm tanks, drilling rigs, construction sites, gravel pits, which are not my own, but supplied by the customer. Fuels could be 5 year old? dirt, water, oil contaminated, In these cases I try my best to treat & run everything through filtration prior to my skid steer tank, or refuse the fueling agreement all together and use my own fuel at a added cost. NEVER USE FUEL FROM STEEL DRUMS stored outside. They are horrible for water infiltration, algae, and rust.. [/QUOTE]
