Drained the filter completely into a clear glass, and there was absolutely no water present. It was never drained while in service either.
This is consistent with my diesel ownership experience dating back to 2001 and 134,000 miles on my first Dmax. I've never had any water present or problems with fuel PERIOD.
With all the threads on many forums on this problem,,,it got me to thinking. Is this a problem that 99.999999% of us will never have?
Is it a case of the internet giving the few that experience it a much louder voice than they would have had in the past, making the problem seem much more common than it really is?
No visible water is not a firm indication that there is not a tiny amount of water in fuel in the .1% range that do not show up as a gooey emulsion.
Think of buying a shampoo that is clear --- it contains a really well emulsified water and oil mixture.
To me, it is a rare problem -- somewhat as rare as a bad tank of gasoline.
How many Class 8 trucks have you ever seen stopped on side of the road from bad fuel?
