    biseth and not sure if that is the correct spelling. any truck parts store should carry it. as long as you are there you might want to buy some extra fuel filters if you do have algae.

    They can make bio diesel from algae, if you can do it, you'll never have to buy fuel again.

    look in the tank if you see black tar like balls. your fuel filters will clog on a regular basic. and your motor might stop running its just a mess. b safe out there
