Great information Ken. I have added a device which keeps moisture which gets in through the air in the vent line out of the fuel system. https://h2out.com/fuel-guard-avd-2/
Also make sure to add “BioBor” to your fuel every time you fill up. This helps extend the fuel life and prevent bacteria from forming in the fuel system.

I do the same in my truck - keep it filled as often as possible.
Z - you've been behind the cameras for too many videos. Let's see your face again!

Hi! How do YOU check if the fuel is good or bad before you fill up?
Cheers!

Hi! Diesel stabilizer additives can also be a good option as well, particularly when not running the engine for extended periods of time....
Cheers

Do these biocide / stabilisers actually work ?

Why oh why do you release “Tips on Tuesday” on Sunday? (Don’t stop, I’m just befuddled.)
