sticky ip

My truck is used strickly to pull my 5th wheel so it is usually in storage.

I replaced the ip 2 years ago. When I took it out of storage, it would stall when letting off the gas. I used the diesel clean in the filter method and it worked. It did the same thing this year.

2questions:
Does diesl sitting in the ip for a time gum it up?

If so, can diesel clean be left in the ip through the winter or could it damage seals in the ip?

It shouldn't, diesel fuel has a long shelf life before it gums up.

I doubt diesel kleen would hurt your seals, but if you're concerned just park it with ATF instead.

Never thought of ATF. Thanks for the suggestion.
