Well driving to work and back it took my wife over 5 weeks to run the tank to empty. I changed the strainer out today, it was black but no scum or particles in it. I reached around up in the tank with my finger and could feel no scum, but my glove did come out very slightly black. I did have an algae problem about 10 years ago which I cleared up with Diesel Doctor, and other than changing the filters a couple of times had no problems after that.

Next I removed the electrical connector from the sender. I had noticed some stains on the outside oif the tank where fuel had run down from the sender area. When I removed the connector, it was dripping wet. I have not gone any furthur, wanted to check here first to see if this means I will need another sender. Don't want to waste time trying to fix the old one if I am going to need a new one anyway.
