Yeah, kill it now. The KILLUM stuff is real good. I had it and it can be a nightmare if you don't kill it good. Usually shows up in something that sits a lot of the year. I would treat your bulk tank and everything that got fuel from it, and keep some extra fuel filters for a while. One combine had it when we got it, didn't know about the treatment to kill it, and fought it for years. Could not keep my 1086 running one fall after it sat all summer, no fuel through the filters. I removed the line from the tank, and nothing, just an occasional drip. I poked the wire from an orange flag into the line and pulled it out. Soon this thing that looked like a broken o-ring started sliding out, the first chunk was about 18 inches long and had completely blocked the fuel line. Kill it before it grows, it can really punish you at the wrong times!
