[QUOTE="sstterry, post: 1599482, member: 28912"] Most likely there was water in the diesel where you purchased the diesel. I have had a couple of cases like this over the years. Just last year a friend's diesel supplier brought him a whole load that was mainly water. Luckily he had samples he kept before they pumped the tank. We had to sue, but they ended up replacing the engine on one of his tractors. Water contamination is more common than you would think. Most all fuel flows through the same pipe to the distribution centers (Chevron, Shell, Marathon, BP, Exxon ect.) They separate it with a "water block". They are always supposed to let the water settle after the fuel for the particuialry delivery is made through the pipe. Sometimes they fail to do this. It is called something "wash". Greybeard or someone else more experienced can probably explain it a lot better. [/QUOTE]
