It's all about the fuel filtration.

I'd suggest preventing this to both you and Ryan. The stock filters just plain aren't good enough. I had drivability issues before I had a water in fuel light. I won't hog it home next time that happens either. Not sure WTF the plan is for that without a drain on the fuel tank...

Less than the cost of one injector, and about an hour to install:

Several hours spent and a dead headlight has resulted in a Lifetime upgrade. Digging it so far! MANY thanks for the help Ryan. Glad I did it there with parts available :)

Both filters taking out some water. Planning to run tanks very low with lots of Howes and draining filters every 150-200mi. Fuel gauge has been fine.

Did you figure out where the water is coming in from yet?

Checked filters before I went out yesterday since it was finally warm while thinking about it. Very little water in big boy filter, decent amount in stock. wtf?

Aaaand I noticed a miss on my way home. I think it may be time to sell this thing down the river if it really has eaten more injectors. Seriously, wtf?

What brand the fuel filters you're running? My truck's factory fuel filter is 2 nominal micron if that matter and it certainly have stopped up if I wasnt be careful filtering my wmo.

Find out where water is coming in! I don't have problem with diesel I buy from fastrac and Hess near RIT. Although I run a 12v.

A 12 valve you can dump 5 gallons of water in the tank and the thing will keep running!

Mike, how much you mean by "decent amount" in your factory fuel filter?

I'll bet it'll run ok on a cup of water in the tank, not 5 gallons haha.

P-pump it!

I don't want another project truck. I have enough projects.

Maybe 1/4t in the donaldson(?), and about maybe a bit more than 1t in the factory.

I read of vents on top of the tank on other 3rd gens, need to look.

Wtf though, are the filters there for looks?

Perhaps my panic was premature. It popped a code this afternoon, P0202. Fuel injector 2 circuit/open

hopefully a harness issue; otherwise at least maybe it's only one problem stick and an electrical problem at that.
