[AT] Gas problem now diesel

[Cecil R Bearden]

I add 1 qt of 2cycle oil to 100 gallons of fuel when my dealer delivers 
it in my 500 gallon tank.  I put a pint of oil in each tank on my 95 
powerstroke.
If you have some nasty black stuff in your filters it is probably 
algae.  You need an algaecide.  Power service makes a good one.  I have 
used it and it works.   I have never had a fuel tank without a final 
filter.  I worked for a neighbor a couple of years ago who had a 2008 
100 hp deere.  Forgot which model.  Nice tractor.  He had a 100 gallon 
tank in the back of his pickup and no final filter.  It got algae in it 
andwe spent over $700 and 3 days time later that winter getting the 
tractor to run.  It took out the fuel pump.  Get a good filter on the 
tank outlet and keep it changed.....
