It is from the fuel system of a diesel engine. The white flakes are carboxilate salts from succonate corrosion inhibitors reacting with sodium.

Question - what is the name of this part?

The filter.

not thinking so...but willing to consider your point with pic proof...

Egads.....that's the Flux Capacitor!

anode sacrificial

Is that a screen-like material under the corroded stuff? If so, that looks like a fuel pickup screen housing that you usually see attached to the end of a fuel pump in a fuel tank.

OK,, i have been messing with diesels for years..Never had that problem, Are you saying you have salt intrusion from somewhere ?

Actually, no idea. :)

scum strainer that you use for the replies to some of your posts?

Hope it is not out of my F250

+1... That's IT.

Got any more info on what kind of Diesel it came out of? Did it come directly out of the pump (or did it even have an injection pump... or a common rail), or was it part of the supply system?

Naa, the ones in your tank'll be brown. Unless yours is an '04-'07, then it'll be all white and silver. :D

The white deposit is a carboxilate salt from the reaction of sodium with succanate corrosion inhibitors. Never was an issue until ULSD - those salts are no longer soluble.

I think the white deposit is a carboxylate salt from the reaction of sodium with succanate corrosion inhibitors. It was never an issue until Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel - those salts are no longer soluble.

that's my story and I'm sticking to it. :D

Dilithium crystals formed on the turbo encbabulator screen due to reversed polarity of the inductive flux muster. Reverse the wires and it will buff right out.
