I will be installing a 60 gallon diesel tank in the truck next week. The truck is used mainly for trailering and so the fuel sometimes sits for a couple of months (I will buy fuel out of California before heading home which saves a bunch of $$ these days). I understand diesel fuel can grow nasties! What should I use to treat the fuel when it's left sitting? Thanks!

strip off any water after settling, add biocide(powerservice diesel-kleen, or commerical product - biobor) to inhibit bug growth.
