Funny you should ask. I posted almost the same question about 2 weeks ago. Out cat 307 excavator had "algae" plugging a filter. It is not really algae from what I have learned on this site but microorganisms. I replaced the fuel filter and cleaned the screen filter on the transfer pump. We added star tron enzyme fuel treatment. As I figured as people here told me it will keep plugging filters. That is a 100 percent true statement. We never drained the tank and cleaned it like was suggested here. I wanted to but dad is stubborn on some things and wouldn't drain the tank. Guess he figured the magic in a bottle would solve everything. It didn't ! I just got a call from him not even an hour ago saying the machine quit again. He asked how I got the small screen on the pump apart so he could clean it. I told him and told him he needed to drain the tank. I got the yea, yea from him. I am going to the farm tomorrow and draining, flushing the tank and lines ! He just won't listen. As far as I know that is the only way to be rid of the problem. Drain, flush, and blow out lines and install new filters. Otherwise you will probably be fighting this problem for a long long time. One other thing is I know our bulk tank is ok because we only have issues with this machine which we have had for 2 years and never used much. Our tractors and other pieces are fine. Don't know how how you are fueling but you might want to look into that also to make sure your not getting a bunch of water in your fuel. Hope this helps !
