Don't rule out getting the wrong fuel yet. The guy filling the tanks might have put gas in the Diesel tank. You should be able to smell it in the filter housing if it is gas.

I use a card lock station for fuel but that doesn't mean it can't happen. I just heading out to start on again. We're going to fix the injector/GP harness to start with and go from there.

water in fuel???

That seems to be an issue also. When I dumped the fuel bowl, I guess I didn't look close enough. We pulled the top and the filter and it's full of crud/pudding/gell stuff. I'm guessing it couldn't be good for the injectors if it was being pushed through. I had just changed the filter out the first of the month. Pulled injectors and the orings are still good. Pulled 7 of 8 glow plugs and...the 8th is broke off. It's been soaking for awhile now but at least you can grab it. It broke off under the threads. That's where we're at for them moment.

I hate it when that happens. Don't get in a hurry, let it soak and soak. I have read many threads where guys got too ruff with the broken plug and ended up having to pull the head.

Remember the fuel station is liable for bad fuel. I hope you have your fuel reciept or at least used a credit card. Also if it is bad fuel, time to call bean for some injector rebuilds, they will flip that bill also along with factoring in your time.
