    Stop buying fuel from the southern station you usually get fuel. It may help.

    I asked my wrench about Baldwin's. He said Cummins owns Fleetgaurd, so there's that.
    He said it's almost one of those questions where it's like " I didn't know there was more than one kind."
    The Baldwin's are a cheaper fleet used product.

    My Fleetgaurd fuel filter & water separator both hit the garbage can every 20K.

    Filters are like which brand of milk am I buying. There is virtually no difference. Except the distance from factory in Mexico or factory in china, to your door.

    Do you have a fuel cooler? What temp does engine run while pulling load?
