    Ok guys....either boost sensor (located on drivers side up near valve cover...easy to do yourself) or try some diesel cleaner. What you want is made by FPPF called "Killem". Its a biocide. You either have slime or bacteria in your tanks or fuel system.
    This time of year, lots of water in fuel due to condensation. Warm fuel sitting in tanks in cold ground...go figure. Get a bottle of killem, follow directions. Get 3 or 4 extra filters as well cause youre gonna need em.
    An easy way to tell if you have slime or bacteria, is to remove fuel filter and cut open. Little black spots? Problem solved
