I couldnt turn down some free diesel but have now learnt my lesson.
The diese came from a home heating tank with rust holes. 6o liters had 15 liters water which Ive got rid of Ive got diesl again at the injectors but still wont start.Any clues please

in the end "nulon start you ba*****ed" (thats the real name) worked Had to spay it down its throat for 5 min before it woulds run on its own and it took 30 min for the smoke to clear but now its ok except theres still a little water in the tank so I will be stopping quite regularly for a while to come to drain the water separator. Out of the free 55 liters that went in the tank and the 25 that dodnt 40 was water Have to ask for my money back.

You may have to change the fuel filter and check if you have diesel bug. The chances will be high. Also run some injector clean in only half a tank.

I will be changing the filter as soon as the tank is run out. There was no diesel bug in the remainder of the contents of the tank the diesel came from so a trewatment with algicide should sufice. I know I should fully drain the tank but I dont have enough containers and am too lazy.
Theres still some water in there but im slowly working it though. I can now get 20km without the light coming on. Its a pain as draining the water seperator isnt a plesent job at the best of times but try doing it in the dark or a full on wet southerly
