never had an issue with water in fuel in +20 years of operation but in the last two weeks ALOT of water collecting in the water traps.
fuel is from one reliable main supplier drawing directly from grangemouth
fuel rep did the tank dip test on both yard tanks today and on 4 machines and all texts came back showing zero or less than 1mm of fuel in bottom of the tanks, 20 year old tank had zero.
dip test a water trap and the paste goes bright pink instantly so it is water
sensor on water trap on a tractor serviced on Saturday was throwing up a fault code today
digger also got error codes coming up due to water level in fuel and this digger has never thrown a code in +6000hrs
any thoughts anyone or anyone in Scotland having similar issues or their water traps at their main tanks filling up recently?
its almost as if there is water suspended in the fuel and its not settling on the bottom of the tank but sitting suspended until it reaches the bowls on the machines
