brand new fuel filter getting filthy fast, HELP

Stop getting fuel wherever it is you're getting fuel. Sounds as though you have a regular fuel source that needs to be gotten away from. Or do you have a really old truck with steel tanks?

Not sure what you mean by "supplements" but nothing is going to "clean" fuel that has a lot of trash/water in suspension.

Also, at older locations that have old tanks/systems, you will not want to fuel at a place that does not properly filter their fuel and while a truck is dumping fuel into the tank and stirring up trash as you're pumping. One REALLY bad load of fuel can take 4-5 filters before getting most of the crap captured

 

Mans right..and do this....get a flashlight and look in the tanks..... should see no nothing on the bottom. Also if you buy J fuel it's B20....it's gonna loosen all the sludge and lastly you could have a hose coming apart on the inside. Pour the filter thru a coffee filter and look for solids. Examine those solids... see any rubber ?

 

Make sure you have the right filter in case you're talking about your primary filter clogging on a dual filter system. Last year a certain oil change chain put a filter designed for a single filter system in my primary and it clogged fast. The next shop I got to replaced the first and so on until finally a mechanic took a close look at it and went back to the original primary filter and it ceased to be a problem.

 

might have aspertine or algey. Cummins sells the best treatments for both. Is fuel tank wall blackish at all? Any slimyness? I'd treat for both and hope for the best.


Cut open a filter and see if its black

 

No such things as Cumings, Cummings, do you mean Cummins? To the OP, are you using a spin on filter or a Davco system? How do you know they are clogging? More details please.

 

I think we have clearly established that i cant spell. Clearly you knew what i meant.

 

Couldn't the supplement/fuel treatment be the problem forcing all that #### to make to the fuel filter? I would stop using the supplement/ fuel treatment and see what happens.

 

let's not forget. that it's summertime. that means BIO fuel. to which, there are no real regulations as to what can be used.

i know one company that uses animal fat. and for some reason. they just can't seem to figure out why they can't keep contracts.
