I still find it really strange you get THAT amount of water in your tank bro...
Where did you fill up recently? Besides that NP station? |

How much does something like this cost? I've never had to do it so I don't know.
Fellas got an exam coming up so I'm laying low. Following the thread though. The quantity of water within the diesel is scary and I wondering if we couldn't take legal action for something like this, then again that's long and drawn out and it's sweet TNT we living in. |

Given what Patchie was saying I went ahead and checked to see if there was any water collected in the reservioi in the filter. All I got was clean diesel... I have never had that problem of watery diesel and I have never seen the water trap light come on telling me to empty it.
BTW, Greypatch I thinkyou might have another problem cause you are supposed to have a separate water trap light on the dash.Or am I wrong? |

Patchie... this is the Frontier right? I heard of these frontiers having problems with the fuel system because of the quality of the fuel.
Equipped2Ripped have you had any of these fuel problems? |
