These problems with poor diesel quality is yet another reason to start running biodiesel. I wish it were more widely available for all people and not only in little hot spots here and there.
Biodiesel is also a great thing to add for lubricity. You only need a 10% biodiesel blend to significantly increase the fuel lubricity.

I forget that most everyone in the US pumps their own fuel. Us here in Oregon get to have someone else do it for us. I always watch the attendants like a hawk to make sure they don't grab the gas nozzle. Only once since 2005 have I had the attendant grab the gas nozzle. But I reminded them before they stuffed in the nozzle.
