Anybody Recognize this? Fuel System Varnishing (algae)
I had two stock trucks hanging around the yard for over two years before being sold.
T370 Cummins ISC CM870/T800 Cummins ISX CM570
They were started at irregular intervals and gradually became harder to start until one day....they just wouldn't.
Opened the fuel systems and this is what I found....Yellow varnish like substance coating everything and inside of tanks.
Cost me new injectors/pumps...the whole nine yards!
Question for the learned...is this Algae or something else?
