Finnished flushing.

I filled tank with gas and HEET drier Friday. Drained it Sunday.

Flushed a few gallons back though the tank and into a bucket under the drain hole. About a quart of water and algae came out.

I poured off the top, the water & junk stayed in the bottom of the bucket. Kept flushing through about 20-30 times. I got lots of water out of the tank. evne after I total drained the tank before starting the whole process.

The water seperated from gas pretty good so it was easy to run it through again and again.

put it all back together and filled with diesel, BioBor and Diesel Clean. It runs OK but idles a little rough. I guess it will take a little time for the last bit's of water to get purged out of the entire system. The diesel clean is supposed to help remove the water. I guess it just absorbes any moisture and lets the engine burn it.
