Blackness is usually what they call asphaltene contamination.
Brown snotty are usually algae contamination.
Both conditions take a different treatment to combat the effects.
I'm sure Larry can elaborate.
With the Sulphur being gone as a lubricant you could use a lubricate additive as long as you don't have an SCR/DEF afterteatment system.
I just mix up some garden Sulphur in a quart of diesel and add it to my tanks.

Interesting. I do treat regularly with Amsoil diesel additives. That has also helped the idling issue somewhat.

What's the consensus of the bigger CC brush cutters?
Like a Stihl 550? Are they worth even a small portion of their price?
Are they as heavy as they sound at over 20#'?
Never used one. How big of stuff are you needing to cut down? I have a Husky 525L that I muffler modded and I mostly use it for string trimming, but I have a brush blade for it. If I keep the blade sharp, it will destroy stuff up to 1.5" pretty easily.

I have a FS250 that I use for a brush cutter, and a pole saw. The damn thing is a beast.
