Brown stuff in filter
I went to drain my water separator and all that came out was a bunch of nasty brown stuff, kinda looks rusty, and looked like there was some water mixed in with the fuel. Is this algae or just rust?

Sitting for a while makes that crap too, diesel decomposes into goo like your truck's got the runs...
I realized after a while I was picking up that stuff from a local station that doesn't sell enough diesel to keep it fresh. Filled a brand new heater there and I could see the goo in the bottom of the tank. I buy it at the truck stop now, no sludge since.
