In my past railroad life the stuff that grew, yes grew, in the diesel fuel tanks of locomotives were a real issue. Frequent fuel filter changes and periodic tank cleanings were the norm in the industry. Impurities in the fuel were only part of the problem. There are several ways to slow the growth of gunk in the fuel tank, some easier said than done. Use your vehicle. Stuff grows faster when fuel sit in an unused vehicle. Fill your tank before it nears empty. The lower your fuel level, the higher the chance that you will suck stuff into your fuel line. Only buy diesel at stations that sell a lot of diesel fuel. The stuff grows in the fueling station tanks the same as in your fuel tank. The more diesel that a station sells, the less chance that their tank is full of stuff.
