Why HPFPs fail........
This is the mess I spent cleaning up today. Victim was the shops Sprinter van, but just as vulnerable to poor fuel as our (vastly superior) trucks. Pump lived to see another day due to the fact the offending fuel station was across the street and our driver shut it down as soon as the wif light came on.
Sample on the right is the initial sample, only thing to add to that is this is the 3rd such incident from this station in the last year and a half.
Now what's more disturbing is the middle sample. That is what I got when my manager sent one of the kids for 5 gallons of fresh diesel from the same station (yes, the manager is a moron) after they called and said it was "fixed". They pumped the sludge but appear to have added a dispersent to the fuel or just didn't care.
The left sample is good diesel from my truck to show said moron what it was suppose to look like.
So my point here is really just to drive home the importance of using a station that sells higher volumes of diesel to our newer members here and try to avoid the "convenient", but lower volume stations whenever possible.

When I saw the pic I thought the sample on the right was a bottle of coffee...
Diesel in Florida is tinted green. Diesel in Alaska I noticed is clear like your picture.
In Alaska because of the fuel rewards I get, I generally pump 10 gallons or so into jerry cans - so at least I am able to get a good look at the quality of the fuel I am getting.
That picture is scary and I don't think I would EVER go back to that station again.
