    Anyone else haveing trouble with fuel
    If I only ran the NE I could understand it
    I am haveing to change the water separator and filter about every 3 weeks.
    I drain the separator every morning and most times get some crap out of it.
    I dont run bio unless its a blend and they don't have anything else
    I fuel at t/a's pee-lots and loves
    # 4.60 a gal you would think they could filter it

    I fuel at Pilots primarily and have had no issues. Perhaps the gunk you are getting out of the filters is from 1 bad fill and is just churning in the tank?
    Meaning every time you fuel up it is diluting the bad fuel and gradually working through the system.

    I would have thought so as well but this has been going on for 3 months.
    last week i ran the tanks down to about 20 gal (panic) before i changed the filters and i am still getting stuff out of the seperator. As soon as i see the fuel pressure droping and the restriction gage climbing its time to pull over and drain it again. I guess i will try to run it down on the way to the house and drain the tanks.(in an environmentally sensitive manner of course):biggrin_2555:
