OMG more help needed

[jessemac]

I have read in previuos post abot a mold like substance in the fuel bowl, I have it in mine and was curious what it was from and how to fix it

That is algae growing in your diesel fuel. That could be your problem all along and might not be injectors. You will probobly have to drop your tank and clean the fuel system out if its really bad. You could try to put some diesel fuel cleaner through it first. I think the red bottle 911 from powerservice will help.

If you indeed have algae, your pick-up tube filter in the tank is most likely clogged up. That will make a PSD run like absolute pooo-poo!

They make fuel additives to kill the algae, but you will still have nightmares getting rid of the residual.

Thanks alot guys i will try that. I am very happy I found this site it has been a great deal of help, and so have u guys thanks for all the advice. You have no idea how much help youve been

There was about a 1/4 inch of stuff in the bottom of the bowl do u think it hurt anything else

Glad to help! Well the algae is just going to clog things up for ya, so yeah get some diesel fuel conditioner that will kill the algae. Hopefully you will luck out and not have to drop the tank and clean your fuel system out. You probobly are going to be changing the fuel filter out quite a bit.

Yeah I noticed today I think it needs changed again already, But thats ok and can't complain seeing the truck was free so I can afford to put some money in it just gald i don't have to change engines thanks again for all the help.

P.S I am on my way now to get the powerservice I know it says treats 100 gallons is it ok if i pour the whole thing in or atleast half in each tank?

[vitalidle]

Yeah it won't hurt it give it a good dose the first time. Make sure its the powerservice that kills the algae. There is 3 different bottles one white, one grey, and I believe you will need the red bottle. Good luck hope everything works out for ya
