Sound like you have algae. Talk to your fuel supplier about your storage tank. It’s probably got algae in it.
Yes, you have algae and need to clean and treat tank.
Yep. Probably let it sit over winter really low and algae started. Fuel tank at the shop or on a trailer or wherever was left empty or low and that didn’t help things either. We get it sometimes here in our tanks at the power units. We will leave them empty over winter. If we filled them all up I’d have 20k gallons of diesel sitting in the fields.
Biobor or biocide has nothing to do with bio diesel. It’s just in the name.
I was on wheat harvest in 2000. We have the first 9650STS’s Deere made that year. One of them had a tank vent stop up and it sucked the tank in. We blew air into it and got it to pop back out but what we didn’t know was the draw line in the tank got kinked and either didn’t bend back into shape or had a crack in it. It would run fine til it got half a tank or so then start acting up.
