Water was not a problem until we saw the higher pressures.
All of a sudden, we got water making its way into the system, forming rust particle that are then all subject to 2,000 bar, possibly making the mixture break down again and become reactive.
It may not be water per se that is the problem, but the reactive byproducts, or in the case of the photo on dieselsite's thread, metabolites from biofuel that have degraded.
We are really heading into unknown territory with the high pressures and biofuels all at once.
