Fantastic to meet Brittany, she’s lucky to have a Dad like you

Dan maybe it is condensation from the heat. You are a very good rep for truckers and the lifestyle. Your daughter is a living doll and you must be a very proud father. I wish that I was in your shoes. Be safe in your travel ,if you have troubles in my neck of the woods I will be there for you to get you rolling again. Look at the people that really enjoy your videos. Hi Kallie you little hound dog. Dave.

You can also be getting water in your fuel at the diesel fuel pump if they use underground fuel storage like most fuel stations, The simplest way to control water at fuel pump if it's in an above ground tank is to drain the water off. But many fuel station can't do that, especially if they use underground fuel storage.

She has got a great smile and made a great camerawoman. Seems like a great girl, too! Good job on that one and good luck with the truck!

Enjoy that very much needed and deserving vacation ! It is something that we as owner drivers very often necklet and in doing that , necklet the people (family) that is standing at our side in supporting us all the time .

Brittany is so sweet! Enjoy your vacation!!

God bless your family Man, Brittany you are such sweet heart helping your Dad.

Glad your daughter takes after her mother, haha! Beautiful young lady, she makes a great camera operator but she probably doesn't want to travel with you full time. I would have never thought about the O-rings. I'll send you an email through the channel, hope it helps. Take care.

Enjoy the time off. And for sure any time with family you can.

Another great video Dan. Thanks for sharing. Good luck with the fuel issue with your truck but most importantly, forget the truck for a little while and enjoy your family and vacation. Be safe.

Good on you for the fuel cap o-rings I thought about them this morning. I'd let the biocide sit while you're on vacation so the algae doesn't continue to grow. You don't have to completely remove the tank plugs, just crack them enough so it drains, or you may have one heck of a mess on your hands. Unless you're low enough and have enough fuel on hand to make it to refuel with fresh fuel. If 1-2 weeks go by and there's no results, I'd consider having the tanks drained cleaned and flushed. Maybe consider doing it while you're on vacation so you're not tying up the truck on the road, or have to head home or find someone on the road to do it.

Dan,. have a great vacation with your wife and family, you have earned it.

Have a very nice vacation.

Have a very nice and safe vacation Dan ! ! !

Hi I had that problem to. Took to dealer. They started off with easy.. ended up draining the tanks, cleaning and lots of filters. I was amazed at the gunk when we opened up bottom of the tanks.

Have a great vacation Dan.

You surly had to adopt that young lady she's way to pretty too be related to an old Trucker 👍😂😂😂 enjoy your vacation you've earned it

enjoy ur vacation and don't think about work just think of u and Teresa have fun

Hi Dan, it's good to see you and your wonderful daughter with you, I got 3 of them and only the younger one got to ride the truck with me and my wife here in Arizona, from Miami Az. to Bagdad Az. if you know that road, is an up and down curvy highway that my daughter had so much fun ridding in, so, that was a great video Dan, thank you and you have a great vacation, don't work so hard on that truck, see you in your next video.

Have a Happy vacation Dan !

Enjoy your vacation Dan, Have a good one. Til next time.

Have a wonderful Vacation .

Enjoy a well deserved vacation with family.

Beautiful young lady. There should be a valve on the cross over line coming out of the tank to the other tank,that way you don't make to much of a mess, and can control the flow of the diesel fuel

loved the vlog. Great to see another side to you. Enjoy your well earned holiday. See you when you get back. 👍

Nice to have your daughter along. Fine video.

I've always known I have been getting water directly from fueling up at truck stops, it's in their tanks, and the algae that goes with it, thats why your filters are so important !!

Good luck Dan hope it works Out for u. Pretty Daughter.

Fantastic camera work Brittney!!!!

Have a good holiday Dan.

I sure hope this works for you Dan, enjoy the vacation, stay safe...................

just passed ya on I-10 near Benson. have a good vacation.

Dan, we hope Brittney doesnt get bit by the diesel bug.that is what got out daughter started years ago and she never got over it lol.Stay safe out there.

Have a great vacation! Cya at MercerTown when you get back.

perfect time to work on draining the fuel tanks, after your vacation and the truck has not moved or has been running.all the sediment and water should have settled to the bottom of the tanks. a clean 5 gallon bucket to drain the tanks.(cut a 5 gal bucket down if its to close to the tank to get your hand in there to pull the pug) the plug should be a pipe fitting tread , meaning its tappered and the harder you tighten it the more it will seal.( so dont over tighten it) you can use pipe tape if it makes you feel better, it is probably not needed. especially if you have owned the truck for the last 14 yrs and they have never been taken out. enjoy your vacation, we enjoy your channel, kali dog is going to miss her youtube time.

Two things: #1 the places you fuel at have a reputation for nasty fuel, is water in them. #2 empty tanks condensate water faster than full tanks. While the rubber orings might be a problem, I think unlikely unless they get torn as long as you tighten them adequately every time you fuel. That is a mechanic's point of view. I also drove flatbeds for years as well

great family, have a great &safe vacation MR trucker. greetings from Chicago😎✌

It can also make a difference depending on the weather and what time of the day you fill up.Driving in England and Europe I was told to fill up in the morning when it was cooler as the moisture in the underground tanks had settled. Diesel bug,as it's called in NZ,can be treated with a biociyde agent but be prepared to use up a few filters.Hope you can sort out the problem and have a good holiday. ☺☺🚛💨👍

It looks to me as if you got an algae bloom, we get that shipboard when water remains in the tanks. I was concerned when you said you dont fill your tanks to earn credits. Any space above the fuel will collect condensate as temperature varies. Best advice has been given; look in the tanks if possible, open the drains at the tank bottom to remove any water and sediment. If you run low on fuel on a bumpy road you can suck up crud into the pickup tubes which should be about 2" from the bottom. Good Luck, enjoy the vacation and compliments on a beautiful daughter.

Enjoy the time Dan.

Nice clip Dan, great camera work Brittany, I hope this fixes your problem !!

Good vlog as always, pretty daughter

a little thought...check the apu fuel filter also if it gets its fuel supply from the same line as the engine.

hi dan, every time you park your truck, the fuel cools and sucks in moisture via the breather, causing condensation in the feul tanks. this helps the algae to thrive. if you fill up every night before you park it leaves no or little space for air to get in. hope this helps. like your show. thanks.

Have a great time off.

Dan good video the O Rings for the fuel caps very well could be the water source along with condensation in the tanks. have a nice vacation and stay safe.

Also, see where your tank vents are located. They could be in a spot that gets wet a lot.

Cool and good for u both there

Great kid! Can't wait to see what the fuel issue is, I'm a bit behind and playing catch up.

Brittany certainly looks like her mother....pretty girl ! ;-) ..... She's also much better with the camera than you,Dan....lol. Hope you get this annoying fuel problem sorted out. Enjoy your vacation,too......you going anywhere ??

Good info about tank alge! I think my motorhome has some in it? There's some old fuel in it that's been in there for two summers.

Could that black stuff be rubber from a deteriorating fuel line? Great camera work, Brittany! No jerky movements; you "float" with the camera as you move. When are you getting your CDL?

You better have order the deep dish cherry pie with vanilla ice cream, that's a classic

Nice truck!

Late checkin the video but lookin good Superdan slim n trim Awesome videos

1) Hi Brittany!! 2) Once you straighten out your fuel problems, you might want to avoid getting fuel whenever you see them getting a delivery. That always stirs up the crap in the tanks for a few hours (don't ask me how I know LOL). 3) Most important.... have a great vacation!! see you when you get back!!!!

I guess that you don't have a fuel water separator, that's your primary fuel filter which kinda does the same thing.

Please don't be like TruckerWho and leave us forever. Have a great vacation !

Dan, be careful trying to open tank drain plugs. Get as much fuel as possible out first. You are probably gonna get a Diesel bath.

A few years ago, we had a problem similar to yours on a 2005 Columbia, Detroit. We put the same bio stuff in our truck......over and over and over. ( I kept telling my boss to send a sample to Auburn and have the fuel analyzed) Drained the tanks, cleaned the tanks, etc. still gumming the filters. Finally had the fuel analyzed and it was coming from the vendor that we used. ( We are a 100 mile radius plus outfit) One of those "fuel only" outfits next to the paper milll in Prattville Alabama. Stopped putting their fuel in the truck and the problem mysteriously disappeared.

If water is a problem my bet it's condensation in the tanks from not filling them up. Those shower credits are costing you money. *Here is a quote from web* "Diesel tanks have a tendency to attract algae if the tank is allowed to sit for an extended period of time without being filled. This is partially due to the nature of diesel fuel." *A little more detail* "There is one simple rule when it comes to microbial growth in a diesel fuel tank - it cannot exist without the presence of water. There are a number of ways water can enter a tank. Dry rotted seals, corroded orifices, and moist/humid air entering the tank on filling or inspection are the most common ways water is introduced. Aside from the damaging side effects water can have on an engine, its components, and the tank, free water found at the bottom of a tank is a breeding ground for microbial growth. The microbes live between the water and the fuel, feeding off of the fuel while living in the water. As the bloom grows, it binds with other forms of fuel contamination, such as particulate, rust, and dirt, to form sludge. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the bloom has an acidic byproduct, promoting tank corrosion." I hope this tells you that you should fill up those tanks, I don't know how much showers are but the cost of repair seems like more.

Water comes fom service stations tanks or by condension, if cab is on there is njot going so much water even on truck wash that it makes problems. And that sediment and black things are coming from ethanol in diesel attleast here in Finland, before having 100 % diesel was never groving something in tank.

have u ever replaced ur crossover lines since u bought the truck? when i had mine i had to-cause they started to break apart from the inside. that algae in the wintertime freezes to little black balls. when i ran a cat-D-10 dozer our company bought some cheap fuel, we had all kind of problems from it. they finally bought some of that stuff like u got-only they got it in 5 gal cans. the primary filter on it was just a metal screen, when i would tap it on the hood-all them little black balls would roll out. lol. had to change and clean those filters for a solid week-till we got it cleaned up. if u didn't shut the motor off soon enough-then u had to crack the injector lines to get it started again. get that stuff taken care of right away-or it;s gonna cost ya big bucks. have a nice vacation-ok

found on my 9300 that algae cloggs filters real fast. Its that black slimy stuff floating around in there. Biocide cleaned that up fast as will b20 biofuel too. Did find biocide acts like water in the system will freeze and doesnt like to go thru filter so dont over treat in tank

More then likely condensation build up in your tanks when the fuel level drops.

It's not "true" algae but bacterial microbes. Rather than me trying to explain it go to bellperformance.com. In a nutshell your PH balance is off in your fuel tanks probably due to high ambient air temp. and humidity in your tanks. You need a conditioner to counteract the acidic value in your tank. Hope this helps.

Part of the problem could be your 50-gallon fillups, you'll get condensation in the tanks from the cold fuel and the warm metal of the tanks, along with the algae. Seems the low sulphur diesel is causing the same problems as the E85 Ethanol fuels.

Yeah Charles. I was thinking the same thing. Filling up more often means more chances of getting contamination.

Crappy cap design after all these years they have to change a successful cap design!? You did the right thing buying those o'rings, I think anyway. Process of elimination is all it comes down to unless you know for certain of course. You have a good hard working father Brittany and a mother that makes strong coffee. What more could you ask for?

I always see that TTT truck stop. Is that the one in the movie White Line Fever?

Could the water be coming in with fuel,i if your fueling at. the same time the tank truck is dumping fuel into the underground fuel storage tanks, stirring up water. in bottom of the storage tanks.? Water is commonly used to keep the storage tanks from floating to surface in areas where the underground water table is high.

Remember to give the wash cloth back to your wife! Enjoy your family vacation. Make memories. Don't video tape it . Just enjoy it.

Only just found your channel but see you are having fuel/water problems. The only question I have for you regards the problem is - are you filling your tanks at the end of the day to prevent condensation forming in the top of the tank and falling back into the fuel?

Peterbilt could give the trucks away for free and still make money just from the sales of parts.

Brittany is cute & poised, congrats on such a nice daughter.

Alrighty then😉
