[AT] Fuel stabilizer

[Bo]

Hello there ol Rog , in my part ot the country , it is VERY common for 
diesel fuel to get contaminated  with algie ( it grows in the fuel ) and 
gets into the pors of the tank . You can drain the fuel , steam and wash the 
tank which is all a waste of time .The only way I found to get rid of it is 
to treat the fuel with a product made by   Penray Part #100016     and is 
called Fuel Prep 1000 and is avaible at most bulk plants that sell products 
other than fuel , gas & oil . The algie is  black & slimey looking and 
usually collects around the pick-up tube in the tank . It kind of looks like 
a old heater or radiator hose that has melted . You may have to change 
filters after about 30 minutes of running time after treatment .
   As for the stabil , I use it and never have a problem with it although I 
use it according to instructions . Hope this helps and no , this ain`t no 
joke .

I have gotten two opposite opinions from people I trust about Stabil fuel
additive.  One says it gums up the carb and should never be used, another
says he can't imagine going into winter without adding it to fuel that won't
be used up relatively soon.  Any experience with this stuff?  Any research
seen?  I am only recently a user of diesel fuel and have been told that
along with keeping fuel running in extreme cold, additives are needed to
prevent "fungus" forming in diesel tanks.  Is my leg being pulled on
this...and believe me, the boys here in town are not above doing that to Ol'
Rog now and again!
