Hi Dave, Drain off the bottom of the tank into a clean container, maybe 2 to 5gal, cover and let sit. You should see three layers form from your fuel starting on the bottom: algae (red (rust color) or black scum) water fuel Water is what caused the algae to grow The new ULSD fuel has a green tint to the fuel in most areas. Go buy a diesel biocide at any truck stop or heavy truck repair parts house. Power Service and Stanadyne both make a good biocide that will rid the fuel of algae. You don't have a bottom drain in your tank? You will have next spring won't you? lol Open the drain until all the water is gone before you start the engine. If you have that much of a water problem in your fuel then you need to keep your tank full at all times as this will help keep water out of the fuel. T_Bone
