#DIESELFUEL #BADFUEL #WATERINFUEL In this video I'll show the bad fuel i got recently. As well as talk about some routine ways to spot it and deal with it.
I had the exact same problem last week and I fuel at flying J. Those black particles look hard like rust etc but if you touch them they disintegrate I replaced my filter 3 times and put holes in the fuel to clear water.truck still doesn’t run as good as it did but is getting better.

Do you drain while the truck is running or turned off? Do you have to refill the filter area to avoid engine stalling?

Watch the project farm video on fuel additives. The regular power service additive in the silver bottle is the best. The red one is just for ice.

In 40 years I have never got water like that. But that's just what that davco is for. Guess I have just been lucky

My truck started accelerating really sluggish after filling up almost instantaneously. After about 35 mph it wont go beyond 20 rpms until i get to max speed and it hesitates from time to time. I drained my fuel seperator and found some water but A LOT of black debri. I guess I got a bad batch. Im currently using some additives and draining the fuel water separator. Its getting better but its still pretty rough. Praying everything clears up.

I need to find the drain valve on mine and check it regularly. I haven’t had problems yet but that’s probably just dumb luck. Thanks for the tip

That is terrible. It goes to show tankers aren't reporting water in the tanks before depositing. Aside from ruining the motor, you paid for diesel and didn't receive pure gallons or anticipated efficiency.

Not hard at all. Assume one of your filters is a water separator already? You can plumb it in there

@@DIYSEMI im thinking it's the primary filter that seperates water but if it hooks right up then all I would need is a clamp to bolt it on the frame. With fuel beign sky high ,im assuming some companies will put fillers in fuel and its better to catch it b4 it damages the injectors

One solution: Use a clear cup before you fill your tanks at the pump Two: have a higher fuel tank pickup There's a colored paste you can buy. That will change color when water hits it. Take a wood yard stick, put the paste on the end . Then stick it in your fuel tank to see how much water is on the bottom. Check out : Gasoila regular water finding paste
