Water in diesel tank

Nice one Kris,

Bit hard to give up on Caltex as they seem to have a Monopoly, Woolworths Servo's and Ampol(if there are any left). In Cooma 8 servos and 4 are Caltex, they are a bit hard to avoid

After learning the pickup is at the bottom of the tank it would be logical for the water to be sucked up first. I pumped about 6-7 litres out just to allow for the line up to the top and got bugger all water( maybe 50 ml). So it looks like I might have got it all in the filter drains.

Anyway, did about 70 odd ks today and just drained the water trap again and got nothing at all.

Hoping this is all over and no damage done but will be monitoring it closely to see how it goes

Haven't given up on Caltex just yet but I will explain later!!
