All the best with your eyes ... I have had both of mine done last decade ... drove my wife crazy on the way home (a 2 hour trip) when I kept saying geez look at the colour of that place amazing ... my world had been muddy brown for so long ... all the best Mark.

I used about 500-550 gals. of diesel fuel weekly and I used than same additive in each and every tank all year long. I too, believed it helped immensely with engine performance....and I still use it in my home lawn equipment. It's worth every penny it cost!

thanks Alan , we just got done then the rain came lol.

[@realnikonlover6207]

I managed a fleet of diesel emergency vehicles. Used "Stabil" in those large tanks for fungus and water control, and Lucas injector cleaner in all vehicles. Also added "Prolong" oil treatment in the oil. I did annual oil sampling to evaluate engine wear. I also ran a filter on coolant lines. Only time I had an issue was after an earthquake shook up the supply fueler's tank. He delivered a hot mess and didnt realize it. Cheers! Good job men. ❤

Mark, I have heard of the pin Oak, but I couldn't tell you what it looked like until you went through it. But I'm learning, Skip

[@markgalicic7788]

yes it's a low grade oak for sure.

[@glennsoucy9767]

I belive that several states have banned planting new pin oak due to the galls that wasps will form on them. In southern Indiana, folks couldn't cut them down fast enough.

you sure could after drying.

[@donbullock8790]

Hello Mark, Mark and T.H.E. Eddie. Here's a tip for you. Next time you have the opportunity, when the tank is very low install a drain valve at the lowest point possible. I did this when I was building large gen-sets. They would be mounted in semi trailers so it was easy to drain off the sediment and sludge. I'd drain gallon from them every oil change/service. Only trouble I had was my fault, forgot one time. After a 20 pound butt chewing I didn't forget again. Great video

[@BigMikeeeBam]

Love your videos! Thanks.

[@dougrobison1156]

I'm 77, had cataract surgery several years ago. Before the surgery I was nearly blind in the left eye and wore trifocals all the time. After the surgery I don't wear glasses except for close reading and then they are cheap reading glasses. I can shoot a rifle with iron sights something I could only do in my twenties.

I go with you and Pete with a pin oak and I drawed up every time that bus motor faded down a little. I think we used the same thing you did for fungus and gel in stuff. The pal with the flat belt mill got his fuel in 5 gallon cans and it had to settle a while. YAAY for the eyes! Blessings, Mark!

My fuel dealer we had them put in an treatment for algae before he put it in our tank bet that was 4000 gallons but if we didn’t add it we had to change filters and that was expensive so hopefully the addictive you put in will cure the problem !!! Great job on the video s

[@markgalicic7788]

[@jamesochesky420]

Sounds like you need to drain tank and flush out the nasty stuff!

[@bigwoodtree]

¡Qué interesante ver cómo identifican el tipo de roble! El proceso de aserrar y descubrir que era un pin oak fue fascinante. Gran trabajo, chicos!

[@petebrooks6539]

Ya'll might want to think about putting a pair of Frantz filters side by side with selection valves, or just one filter, at the tank. The Frantz will take out everything including water. In stead of replacing expensive filters, just replace the roll of toilet tissue and continue sawing.

[@markgalicic7788]

good idea.

[@user-Carl-2964]

On the diesel fuel issue. One of my former jobs had fuel issues when they got new fuel. What they did was put a sediment separator between the tank and the filters. Then they ran the fuel low, then closed a shutoff in the line. Got a company in and they dumped kerosene into the tank and uses a pump yo suck the mix and then use it to pressure wash the bottom of the tank and then sucked out all the sludge.on a 500 gallon tank, they got 2 55 gallon drums of sludge mix out of the bottom. Then installed a petcock on the bottom and until I left, Maintainance would drain a few gallons from the bottom and let it settle out, which worked well in keeping the sludge down. In winter we started adding kerosene before adding new fuel, to prevent jelling, which worked, and it helped the sludge issue too.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Rick , it makes great trailer decking.

[@bpaul1110]

Mark- If you think you have algae run your tank down and DRAIN it completely and flush it with some clean fuel. If your using a drum get a new clean one. Once you get it in a tank it's near impossible to get rid of cause if there is just a little left it will grow back. You'll never be able to keep the filters clean. I've taken filters out that look like they have hair growing on them with algae. Then make sure to use the regular Power Service YEAR ROUND. That will keep any moisture out of it. Good Luck!

[@TheWildWestMill]

Great video Mark. Keep up the good work buddy

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Marc.

[@kenpgh]

With todays diesel it was good that you put treatment in the tank , the algae you mentioned is a filter killer , im not sure what it does to the oil - but fuel filter and oil filter and coolant filter changes is the best maintenance you can do to keep the motor purring along 👍🇺🇸

[@markgalicic7788]

yes that very true , it should settle out this week.

Not sure, the mill l worked at in highschool only cut Red Oak. It has knots but it has a pretty grain. Definitely has swirls.

[@JohnfromEngland]

It might be better to take the tank off and clean it and in future have a filter on the filler end as well as inline

[@RobertFay]

*- There must be some way to drain the fuel tank, flush out the crud.* *- Maybe you could use cheese cloth in a big funnel to to capture most of the cruddy fuel before letting it settle for weeks before returning it to the tank after it is freshly filled.*

Changing a filter is easier than messing with injectors.

[@markgalicic7788]

yes a simple filter change will fix this.

[@mcburcke]

I used to work on commercial backup generator sets that also have big fuel tanks and also sit unused for long periods. Most of them had a sediment bowl trap upstream of the filter. Might help? Also, you should maybe look at an oil additive that actually works, called TufOil. Reduces friction which increases effective horsepower and improves fuel usage rate. Holds Guinness Book record for slickest known lubricant. I've used it for a long time with provable results.
