Shue, hot tip : Don't buy gas at a station if you see the tanker truck there. Wait till later in the day or go to another station. The tanker dumping it's load into an underground tank stirs up all the sediment and you're bound to pump some of it into your tank.
And don't let your tank get down below 1/4 full....whatever sediment you do have in there starts to get picked up by your pump.
It's a fact of Life:
After Monday and Tuesday, even the Calendar says : WTF .......

I knew to avoid the tanker thing, but the 1/4 fill-er-up is a practice I will put into action...
