Darryl&Rita Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 Adding fuel line antifreeze ? To your fridge? Montana ice cream is too hard? I feel like a fish at the hook, I don't want to get pulled in, but it's irresistible.

Wrknrvr Posted August 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 About 8 years ago, I installed a Aquahot heating system in our fifthwheel. It uses diesel fuel. The black tank is the onboard fuel tank. It is on the inside of the two tanks. If you look to the left side of the black tank, you can see the clear fuel level line. So when I would change fuel filters on Aquahot systems in my business. I would drain the fuel filters into a clean, clear container. Let it sit a day or two. Then pour the old fuel into my Aquahot fuel tank. The one you see in these photos. If I changed my truck filters, it went in there also. What did I doooooo? I may have poured some fuel from my truck filters in there. That was in the beginning. Yep, I did? Is there algae in there also. That container on top is algicide. I did treat it in South Carolina just before we left there. So yesterday I decided to treat it again. Just in case it has ( you know what ) in there. Yesterday’s results showed no algae in that system. That was close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuiteSuccess Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 I’ve run Biokleen in my truck every fill. Stuff is expensive but gives me piece of mind. Still saying that, wish I could get my tanks polished. I’ve got a thin line of black “goop” on the bottoms.

I always do too, of one brand or the other, unless I'm on a long haul and will run the fuel out in a week or two. Cheap insurance really.

SuiteSuccess Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 Vern, Someone (maybe it was you) was trying to come up with a little suction “straw” several years ago just to suck that material up. Never saw the finished product. I do like your polishing apparatus that you built.

Wrknrvr Posted August 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 (edited) This is the filtering system I used to treat the Aquahot fuel tank. That black fuel tank? I also used this system to pump treatment through the truck fuel lines while the 10 gym system was treating the fuel tanks. It uses a fuel pump of say 5 + gallons per hour. Available at local auto parts stores. With a filter inline before the pump. Edited August 24, 2023 by Wrknrvr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
