    Have you guys ever seen this before? This filter is only 3 weeks old. Replaced today with a new one.

    Was thinking myself. It was black and moldy looking on the filter. I didn't know algea formed in cold weather.

    Yes it can with the right conditions and freaking bio-fuel blend. Treat it fast with a bio treatment and keep after it for awhile.

    Also check the fuel heater in the unit. See if it is working.

    Had my oil analysis done today. To make sure that there wasnt an injector and cups issue. Oil came back negative for coolant and fuel.
