Hello Bob and thank you for your input. There should also be pointed out that polymerization may take place in the fuel tank of the vehicle, at least to some extent, since many diesels have leak fuel lines transporting hot fuel to the tank, so the temperature in the tank will rise in proportion to the amount of hot fuel coming in. This may lead to fuel filter clogging. Not instantly, of course, but after a number of hours. Jan Warnqvist AGERATEC AB
