After reading Austin's second post I think I'm on the right track , read either the label or the website for this stuff , if it's true it'll be the Bee's Knees .

I'll toss some spare fuel filters in the trunk just in case .

I'm running _only_ brand name Diesel from busy stations , I think the algae was in there when I bought the car from Steve , he ran it on Bio-Diesel and since algae is a bio deal , I bet it grew in there like crazy .

My 240D _still_ flat runs away from this car .
Another good idea is to not let the fuel level get low. The more room there will be for condensation of H2O.
