: Foamy Fuel question

Yesterday I got fuel that was mostly foam. Best I can tell it filled the tank with foam, but the fuel guage reads less than 1/4. I've stopped twice to add fuel, but as the new fuel displaces the foam in the tank - foam comes out the fill tube.

Added 10 oz Powerservice (White bottle), no help

Anybody heard of this before - Any suggestions??

Napa blamed it on the fuel filter (New Racor R20S about 4000 mi ago)

Any suggestions on how to break this foam?? Additives??

Thanks

Soap in the bio diesel maybe?

And moving to fluids.

was the station out of fuel? maybe it was barely sucking fuel from the bottom, and sucking a bunch of air as well. just an idea.
