Diesel Dos and Don'ts

In my event, most engine-related problems are the result of fuel issues. Fuel that's contaminated by flood, asphaltene, biological masses, or just plain soil is the nemesis of any motor. And diesel engines are particularly susceptible to tainted fuel because of the sage-bogglingly close tolerances—measured to ten-thousandths of an inch—to which diesel fuel-system components are machined.

Winsome on clean fuel from the get-go—often easier said than done—is the best and easiest defense against fuel-linked problems. Once the tank and fuel system are contaminated, significant labor will be required to wrong side the process. To prevent fuel contamination from the start, taking a representative before filling up is a useful practice. A glass quart jar allows you to take a look at the fuel, but
