Yeah, NEVER get fuel if the big truck is there making a delivery, it mixes up all the crud in the tanks, thats what messed up the fuel system in my wifes car.

And therin lies the rub :

When they dump the fresh fuel in , it stirs up huge clouds of silt, rust chips and so on , this remains suspended in the fuel for at least 24 hours .

Typical fuel deliveries are between midnight and sun up , I get there right after and see no tanker , buy 18 gallons of shyte and the clear fuel filter fills up with crud .

If you have a mechanical fuel pump , do not place a filter between it and the fuel tank .

If you have fuel injection , this is a *maybe* thing as all quality fuel pumps are designed to pump fuel and some crud straight through .

I've never replaced any fuel pump damaged by dirt but hundreds of electric pumps that were burned out because of clogged filters before the pump .

You makes your chioce then takes your chances , no complaining when that new pump dies .
