not anymore. there may be a few left with a filter, but most pump all the water and crud right into your car. How do you think all this algae is showing up this time of the year?

Algae does not grow unless there is water present (storage tanks) and it is OVER 80 degrees. I am guessing neither Rich or Max have seen 80 constantly for a few weeks. The crud came from storage tanks. Remember last summer, they jacked up the gas prices, so nobody drove much and the consumption went down? that got the system plugged up with fuel that was not moving, including Diesel.

If crud is growing in YOUR tank, it shows up in July or August. Rich's SWMBO got a load of crud, probably in the last fillup.

One caution about that.  Never buy fuel when a tank truck is
unloading, or you can tell has just unloaded.  It stirs up all the
crud in the storage tank.
The pumps have filters though.
