Guys, I have a little bad news. I have been using the 5-micron rope-wound filters for my final filtering stage, and I went on a trip a few weeks ago that needed more than my tank's fuel supply, so I filled a couple 5 gallon fuel cans with my 66% mix as well. No worries, the trip was fine and the truck ran completely normal. The only thing that bugs me is that I noticed about a week after I got back, when I was going to refill the fuel cans for another long trip, that there was some black sediment in the bottom of the fuel cans. I'm not sure if the rope-wound filters are letting some particles through, or if the sediment I was seeing was all less than 5 micron, but the filter isn't catching everything.
I think we all need to get those 2 micron filters if we don't already have them.
