Hello everyone
My dads 2007 Volvo VNL 780 with a Cummins ISX CM870 has been giving him a hard time with clogging of his fuel filter, he has been getting black oily diesel fuel, I opened the fuel filter and it looks like oil, at first we changed out the injector seals but still getting black diesel and clogged fuel filters, then we changed out the fuel pump and that didn’t help we check all the fuel lines and they are good, so we still haven’t found the issue has anyone experienced this type of issue before. Thank you in advance

Are you sure it’s not algae? If so there’s products to treat it . If I’m not mistaken you feel the fuel and if it slippery it’s algae and if it feels course it combustion getting into the fuel . Look up old threads that used to be big problem when bio diesel first came out..
Adamali21, D.Tibbitt and IH Truck Guy Thank this. -
Another problem it could be is the isx returns such hot fuel to the tanks it causes asphaultine problem. Try running some diesel kleen power service in ur tanks for a couple weeks and see if it clears it up. This is what cummins recommends for injector cleaner. ur gonna have to keep some fresh filters handy

I am going to tell him to run that diesel kleen for a couple of weeks and see what happens
