Default Alge treatment


I believe it is a result of the soltron(startron) which attacked the
leftover algae that was on the bottom/side/top of the fuel tank. It
'eats' it up and allows the filter to take it out.

I've had the same thing in my racor 2 micron.

It's doing it thing...

Was it 'solid green' or more like 'coffee grounds'??




When I looked in the bowl with a flash light behind it yesterday, it looked
solid dark green, as if it had been filled with paint. My heart skipped at
every little change in engine sound on the six hour motor home.

When I drained it today, there was no water (after 2 1/2 seasons) and it
looked just like red fuel as it drained out. The sediment bowl was mostly
clear after with about 20% coverage of something that looks like alge. The
2 micron Racor filter, originally white, was dark green, almost black. The
secondary filter looked like it had been put in yesterday. No coffee
grounds.
