DEF in Fuel

Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

I have a 14/15 coming in.  Customer put about a quart of DEF in the fuel and ran the engine.  Engine is still running, but he has a water in fuel light on.  What has been the recommended repair for DEF in the fuel.  My memory tells me that I read some post indicating some insurance companies were totaling these when they reached the point of stalling.  What are we doing for repairs when we have a partial contamination.

I did a 2011 not long ago, 6 - 8 liters of def in tank, drove it to shop. I pulled the upper filter and it was full of def. Quoted a hp system (customer knows the cost, he filled this thing with gas and drove it 400km 2 years ago) and he declined. Wanted the fuel system flushed, tank cleaned, and see what happens from there. Truck has 250,000km on it, so his call. He has driven it 20,000km since, without an issue.
