Maybe I'm just paranoid after what happened to Nate, but...
I just topped off at a local mobil station and noticed a lot of foaming when I vented. When i did the sniff test, it smelled like gas. I put some on a paper towel and got a receipt from the attendant. he thought it smelled like diesel, but he tired to throw the towel away.
I have sealed the towel in an airtight container and will go back to get a liquid sample and another receipt.
Beside the foaming, I noticed a greenish color. I'm wondering if this might actually be caused by winterized diesel? Would kerosine give the diesel more of a gas smell and color?
Anyway, as I have 1/2 biodiesel in tank already, I drove short distance back home and plan to call the dealer in the am. The dealer uses this station, so I think they might be very interseted in finding out themselves. I suspect the best precaution is to have tank pumped and fuel filter changed asap.
Any other thoughts or suggestions? Am I being overly paranoid?
