domza Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 im pretty sure thats water being filtered.. I know at work on all our diesels it happens sometimes, and its always on the primary water separator filter so its doing its job.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a boat Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Hi, welcome to the world of todays modern fuels and yes we are seeing more and more problems with ethanol in boats that may sit for some time and you get phase seperation-which is how you describe. I would give the fuel system a good clean, replace filters and make sure the fuel comes from a big servo and do not use E10. Cheers, Huey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
