I would never knowingly put contaminated fuel into a truck with a $10,000 engine. If water makes it to the injector pump and it eventually grenades you will be looking at a huge repair bill.
Better check the price for those diesel engines. Had a new crate 6.7L engine put in the truck in October 2014. Back then the engine was almost $16,000 and the installation at the Ford dealer was $23,800. Fellow here in the park had his 2015, 6.7L Ford take a dump. A remanufactured engine installed is $15,000.
No way would I take a chance on that contaminated fuel unless it was run through a proper oil/water separator.

Your are correct. I believe I was thinking of the premium paid for a 6.7 engine over the standard gasser engine.
