[QUOTE="tytower, post: 406107, member: 2399"] Pretty old thread now but what nobody mentioned was diesel is an oil . Oils float on top of water Draining the tank until diesel comes out will get rid of most of the water in the tank Likewise do the pump and filters - each can usually be drained unti good fuel comes out and fresh fuel pumped through with the hand control on the pump -if its got one Keep in mind if water is getting to the injectors then the fuel pump is full of water -has to be or the top stuff being injected would be oil. Petrol works the same way Both fuels are finer than water and to ensure both get traces of water out through the system and burnt I use metho (Denatured alchohol ,methlated spirits ) and put about a pint per tank every so often to be sure . You will always get condensation in the tank falling to the bottom and getting pumped out first. Both in the vehicle and in the suppliers pumps. [/QUOTE]
