Question:
Heres a revised poll possibly gives more variation and the results will be of interest.

Choices:
Bubble Wash
Mist Wash
Both Washes
Dont Wash
Acid Assisted Wash

 

I have had lots of problems with my experimental washes, so no washed fuel in the tank until I get it right. May try mist washing next.

I now prefer to let the BD settle for two weeks before decanting into storage or vehicles. I have had poor luck washing in cold weather (just ending), and so now I prefer to let it settle as long as possible, then decant only the top half from the settling tank. Settling for a couple weeks is less frustrating than trying to clear-up residual cloudiness, or worse yet DRS, which takes about as long. Mist washing worked best for me, especially when I tried heating the mist water. Note that my water is very alkaline, and daytime temperatures are cool.

the link for my article was in the other poll so I'm going to be obnoxious and post it here as well:

DVA, check out the troubleshooting section of the above for some suggestions on dealing with emulsification or whatever

I tried washing, using the bubble wash technique mentioned on JTF, and ended up with Chicken soup- really bad. Tried acid, and mixing extra water, ect., I won't be using that technique again... to many things to go wrong and too much time expended.
