6500 problem

   / 6500 problem #41  
Yes, a full tank reduces condensation and keeps the tank coated with diesel to prevent rust.
So, how important is fresh fuel?
Does it not deteriorate over time? How long can a tank be left in there and still perform?
In our humid climate, we have issues with algae also.
If diesel remains in the tank for a year, with just incremental amounts added a couple times during that year, what kind of issues will that cause?
Are some of the additives ok to use? keep the cetane up, prevent algae, remove water, etc.

I use Power Service Diesel Fuel Supplement +Cetane Boost.
HAPPY NEW YEAR hugs, Brandi

Was confident enough today to disasssemble the fuel line system. Now, I have some questions about how pumps, valves and flow work.

Should I be able to blow air, like blowing a kid's balloon, in th direction of fuel flow?

Same year and same issue here... contamination in the tank. Did you ever remove the tank... and if so, are there instructions anywhere? Thanks!

Did you ever get your fuel issue solved! Got an interesting fix from a dealer! Have not tried it yet but fixing to!
