H20/FUEL QUESTIONS

[lyrrad]

WOULD SURE APPRECIATE SOME HELP...GOTA '06 HPDI 225.TWO WEEKS AGO I BOUGHT FUEL WHICH HAD LOTS OF WATER IN IT. ALARM WENT OFF ( AT IDEL SPEED) JUST AS I RETURNED TO RAMP TO LOAD UP. LOADED UP AND RAN STRAIGHT TO DEALER. HE TURNED SWITCH ON AND THE ALARM SOUNDED. IMMEDIATELY NOTED THAT I HAD H20 IN FUEL. HE EMPTIED THE CONTENTS OF THE FILTERING BOWL AND I VERIFIED THAT 85% WAS H20. HE THEN REPLACED THE FILTER AND SENT ME ON MY MERRY WAY. LAST WEEKEND HAD EXACT EXPERIENCE. THIS TIME I MADE THE REPAIR AND HAND PUMPED APPROX. 5-GALS. FROM EACH TANK UNTIL I SAW "0" WATER. YESTERDAY HAD EXACT EXPERIENCE.WHEN I GOT HOME I STARTED THE PROCESS OF DRAINING TANKS AGAIN AND TO MY SUPPRISE I NOTCIED A HIDDEN YAMAHA BRAND H20/FUEL SEPERATOR. DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I HAD IT. NOW MY QUESTION IS , WAS THAT FILTER ( SIZE IS SIMILAR TO AUTO OIL FILTER ) FULL TO CAPACITY ALL THIS TIME. IN REPLACING IT , WILL MY PROBLEMS BE SOLVED. THANKS FOR ANY HELP THAT YOU GUYS CAN SHARE. I'M NEW TO THE BOARD BUT HAVE READ ALOT OF USEFULL INFO. THAT YOU FOLKS HAVE TRADED. IMPRESSED WITH THE RESPONSES. THANKS AGAIN .

yep, if you had that much water the seperator was probably full. If you've completely drained the watered fuel and cured the water problem then yes this will most likely fix it. My question is where in the heck did you get that much water???
Oh, and turn off your caps. All caps is screaming in forum lingo, not to mention harder to read.
