[QUOTE="Exfarmer, post: 6281238, member: 1951"] Diesel bug is a misnomer, it is in fact microscopic rust particles which forms in the beads of condensation which forms on the top of tanks . Tractors regularly used never have issues as the diesel sloshing in the tank prevents rust from forming on these surfaces. Static tanks and those sitting idle for months such as combines have this issue. It does not occur in plastic tanks. As OP said keeping tank filled up will be the best thing to stop it occurring, if the tractor has long bouts of idleness, also keeping in a shed or under a sheet also helps, or both. [/QUOTE]
