    Yep. Used to be good. Now it full of water and impurities.
    Mercedes has recommended using 2 stroke oil in the fuel tanks on their diesels for areas with bad fuel.

    How’s it full of water and impurities? I manage a fuel terminal. That’s news to me.

    Lower diesel standards than Europe. We're allowed up to 200mg/kg of water in our diesel. Most filters will catch it in the sediment trap and it's not a problem if drained every service.

    According to the European Committee for Standardization, the maximal acceptable amount of water in diesel for commercialization is 200 mg/L (ppm) (EN 590). Usually, this is determined by Karl Fischer (KF) titration, yet this method requires chemicals and takes about five minutes to perform.

    I only fill up at standard commercial stations, no site fills or farm fills. Still got a tank full of bug and water... Part of the issue is the stations only seem to run filters with gauze screens, crap stoppers only not really what you can describe as a water separator or a diesel filter.
