[QUOTE="gusea305, post: 1688042, member: 28927"] I am imagining that Minnesota general has high humidity. Diesel that sits in a tractor in a wet environment will attract moisture. There is an algae that grows between the water and diesel. If you attempt to run it, it will screw up your injectors and is a real pain in the butt. I make sure to drain all the old diesel and check it for water and sludge. I clean the fuel tank, change the fuel filters. I would suggest cutting them open to check them as well. This algae will foul everything. If you do what i suggest and find sludge you will want to clean every little tube, connector etc. since you may have ran that stuff into the works. I put star tron fuel enzyme in my diesel. I am not trying to plug them. Just saying thats what i use. It will stabilize diesel for 2 years. There are biocide treatments out there but they wont do any good if you have ran the gunk into your powerplant. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
