Keith Browning Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 A week or so ago a 2011 was towed in customer stated that it was running rough and now it won't start. Cranks but won't start. P2291, FRP cranking is 700 PSI. Fuel sample taken at the FCM had a couple ounces of dirty water and the fuel itself show water emulsification. Fuel sample from the engine return had the same emulsified, cloudy water. I have rust and debris in the system and a large insurance estimate out there waiting to be approved. This is my first time diving into a 6.7L so it is interesting and I am taking it a little slow but no big deal. The only thing I am not liking is that removing the HPOP takes you through 4 or 5 sections of the WSM. Just annoying more than anything.

Ditto on that. Friggin confusing as hell the first time around. I have never hyperlinked around so much in my life until diggin into a 6.7 shop manual.

jimmy57 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Was WIF indication showing to customer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 No WIF, No Code either but I drained about 2 ounces of water from the separator. It takes a little more to reach the sensor electrodes. It's a pretty roomy collection bowl on these trucks. The fuel quality however is a different story. It was cloudy as could be. This brings us back to the water emulsified in fuel conversation. The damage to the fuel system is long term when it is continuously exposed to fuel with a lot of water in it. The station this customer fills up at regularly is in a flood prone area. Remember NJ had a hurricane come through not too long ago? Here is the pressure regulator from this truck.

jimmy57 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 It is time to bring back the old fashion pumps where you pumped the fuel into the big glass vessel and then gravity fed it into vehicle. If you were conscientious you'd look to see what was in there before it went into your tank. This could become a hairy issue. Insurance companies are not going to pay out $10K plus on the comprehensive coverage many times without either upping the cost for diesels or excluding coverage for fuel caused damage.

Keith Browning Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Well the story gets better from here. I am still waiting for my parts which were just approved by the insurance company just before Thanksgiving. Turns out the guy has had both his cars keyed and his rental truck was vandalized with... water in the fuel tank. The owner had had enough. Got a security camera system and installed it at his home. Two days later two 25 year old idiots were recorded in excellent resolution pouring water into the fuel tank. The police are handling this from here.
