its not bio diesel and the only think mixed in in power service but i dropped my tank today and my fuel is cream colored. the truck runs fine and my wif light isnt on, so what could it be?

 

Like it's cloudy? Maybe the P/S did something.

 

yeah its cloudy and looks like a light colored coffee, it maybe be the p/s, it doesnt have a strong diesel smell either. if diesel wasnt so **** high i would have dump the whole thing into my heater and bought more but i cant waste a half tank of fuel when the truck runs fine.

 

Could also be where your getting the fuel. Next time maybe, collect a sample and compare that to a station down the road who has a different company deliver fuel. Could tell a little more.

 

Truthfully guys I did not even think that he had diesel in the tank. It looks and smells nothing like diesel. Bobby, how much PS did you put in that tank? It looks like bile, not diesel.

 

8 oz per like 30 gals give or take

 

Sounds like biodiesel.. you might want to get it checked anyhow.

 

if its bio diesel then alot of semis are running the same stuff.

 

Fuel deliverer might have gotten his load in the wrong tank. They seem to do that once in a while.

 

First, I'd address that WIF light. Next, I'd call the station and ask if it is bio. I would not mention the color, just ask if they sell bio. Go back and buy a half gallon or so, bring it home and pour it into something clear and let it set undisturbed for 24-36 hours. If it is water, it will separate. Personally, I've never seen creme colored fuel unless it had water in it. Not saying it's not bio, just don't know.

 

I would suspect a lot of water in the fuel. It should drop out of suspension with a little time though. If it was bio, it would be bad bio. Usually bio that looks like that has not converted correctly and the fuel has emulsion issues. Either way, 100$ loss of fuel is a lot better than trashing your whole fuel system with a lot of water.

I am a cheap person and try to save every penny I can but if it is white, creamy in color I would dump it or at least put it in a drum and see if it separates.

 

heres a lil bit of it that i drained from the filter

 

At $4 a gallon, we shouldn't have to be this paranoid!

 

If what you put in looked like that, I'd be very afraid you got a load of water.

 

Looks like contaminated fuel to me.....did the water settle out? You can get some stuff that you put on a stick an dip fuel tanks with. It changes cooler in water, can't think of the name of it OTMH.....
