Yes, we all want to know, please.
Today went in to get more diesel and I found that in the winter my CoOp do a 50% number 1 and 50% number 2 along with an additive in their back tank.The red off road diesel that I buy from the CoOp has no bio in it. It's a totally separate tank that's in the back area, not with main fuel pumps. I called and checked. Depending on where you live I am sure you can find some and if nothing else ask a local farmer. And then buy yourself another 5 gal container and start fresh.
It used to be until a couple years ago that the red dyed diesel had a higher sulfur level which help keep fuel contamination down and longer storage, but I guess the government changed that.
Also Ive found interesting reading on Bellperformance.com on fuel contamination under fuel & tank services which might be of help.
Nope, no drain on the filter cup. Easy to pop the cup off though. Have never seen any signs of water .Does your tractor fuel filter assembly have a way to drain from the bottom, older tractors had that option to drain water from the bowl. I know mind doesn't, I wish it did.
