  Are you using Kolor Kut to test your fuel?

  naw–but if water is mixed in with my red Diesel, is separates as while layer on the bottom of a container, and the fuel out of the tank looks clean. Where can THAT MUCH WATER (a whole fuel filter full) come from?

  The fuel system is in no way connected to the cooling system, so therefore it must come from the tank. Sorry, no other options. Do you park it outside in the rain? Water is semi-miscible with fuel and you can’t always see the interface.

  Well, I accept that water must come from the tank–so I drained it, drained every filter, refilled and it started up. Now I know that one of my farm interns screwed up.
