Something else to watch for...

Two injectors (IIRC) were being replaced on this motor... not sure of cylinder numbers. This injector did have indications of water intrusion. The screen was never located.

The business end looked normal... like I mentioned, the only obvious thing on quick inspection was that water had made it to the injector as evidenced by the discolouration of the fuel area...

Water in fuel is quite common here... this is the land of slip tanks and on-site storage (read that as low standards)... If one of these guys doesn't have a slip tank in the back of his truck, he has more than likely borrowed fuel from someone that does or will soon be forced to do so.

 

Even now we occasionally encounter a HFCM with one of the old, soft drain plugs - siezed in place, of course.

 

One of our aims is to have everyone drain the water separator at every service... sadly, you can't watch everyone....
