I've just pumped the last out of my drum from the Waterways stuff. As Gunner warned those of us who got free drums - there was some oil in the bottom. Since my troubles and since I noticed that the ABG sample was much darker than the Rutherford sample, I've been filtering each load into 25L containers via a funnel with 2 different layers of filter (some stocking material from my wife).
The ABG stuff took ages to filter through. The last bit I tipped out was black as the ace of spades and would not go through the filter at all!
Considering that the pump pulls from the bottom of the drum first, it is no wonder that I got a clogged fuel filter on my first load. The sample that I'd taken for my other tests came from the top of the barrel, so was not a true sample compared to what I ran through my car.
Those of you with cars a bit more rugged than mine did not seem to have any problems, where I had a load of them.
It might pay you all to filter out of the drums, if you do not already do this. I'm going to go and find some good filter paper and re-filter into fresh 25L containers just to be 100% sure. I've also got a filter on the end of my filler hose now so hopefully everything that I have missed filtering will get caught just before if goes into my car.
