My full 5 gallon diesel fuel can was in the back of the truck while it rained. The fancy-schmancy no-spill spout seems to have been stuck slightly in the "open" position, and I'm concerned some water got in. It got me thinking...
Can anybody confirm whether my tractor (Bobcat CT225) has a fuel/water separator? I think yes; I think it's the clear plastic cup underneath the fuel cutoff valve, and fuel filter, but I'm not 100% sure.
How can I tell if water is in the fuel?
What's the best thing to do with the fuel? I'm leaning towards just pouring it into the truck, when the tank is nearly full, since 5 gallons of watery diesel out of a 30-gallon tank is a lot less than 5 gallons in my tractor's 6-gallon tank. I hope the answer isn't, "dispose of it at all costs," because, sheesh, that's just like tossing $20 in the garbage. Yeah, it's cheap compared to the cost of new injectors, but surely there's a workaround?
