surprised you'd have an algae problem given your location. (could it be gel?) lots of sound advice given here
in addition, you might change your fuel source to a high volume truck stop to reduce chances of moisture contaminated fuel. btw Optilube has a full line of products addressing moisture, algae, lubricity, & anti gel in cold weather. tho haven't run across a product that addresses all 4, regards

Waste of product, it goes much better on a slice of sour bread and shot of cold vodka.

Yes, yuck! I found this is a fairly common issue (unknown to me before). I found and used this on the SIL's. Still running good, but I'll be changing the filter (again) before winter.

Don't even think about purchasing a gallon as the pint is expensive (but works). I bet the gallon costs a couple hundred bucks. Don't take much (dose) anyway so even with 3 diesels, a pint bottle lasts me a year or so.Yes, yuck! I found this is a fairly common issue (unknown to me before). I found and used this on the SIL's.

Do keep in mind that it kills the microbes but you still need to change the filters, probably a few times because the 'skeletons' of the microbes are still in solution with the treated diesel and have to be removed.

Yep. Expensive and a little goes a LONG way. $40 for a pint: https://www.napaonline.com/en/search?text=power service bio kleen&referer=v2

Yeah, but TSC is 40 miles away. NAPA is 4 miles...

I'm not local to you so I have no clue. Get it where you are convenient at.
