Wasn't sure how the diesels vented the tanks.

Would pay to take a look....Might check mine. :D

Thought I'd might as well post here, rather than start another topic.
Just got my injectors reconditioned, and found what may be diesel bug in the filter when changing it today.

I'm running Morey's fuel conditioner at the moment, am I better off doing this until the tank is low, then drain it, or should I run a De Bug set up for a long term solution?

Got no problem running one of these, just want to make sure I'm not wasting money for no reason.

Run a treatment, change filter, keep an eye on it.

Shouldnt have a problem.
