Ok, mechanic diagnosed my situation as a complete fuel system contamination. He claims that both of the truck filters were gelled solid and the under hood housing only had an inch of fuel in it. He preceded to show me the completely full Gatorade bottle fuel sample he drained from my under hood housing. This sample looked like orange and brown swamp water with about and inch of clear water on the bottom.
So my first question to him, how did you fill that whole bottle when there was only an inch of fuel in the housing? He says, this bottle is the equivalent to an inch in the housing. Interesting, a 32 oz bottle is the equivalent to an inch of diesel in the housing.
Second question, how did that water and diesel separate so fast? My truck has only been back here for 10 minutes. He says, that's what it always does. Your bulk tank is what's causing the contaminated fuel.
Third question to him, since I pump double filtered fuel out of my bulk tank into my truck, the filters on my bulk should be gelled and have swamp water fuel in them too, right? He says, yes.
I pumped 20 oz of fuel out of my bulk into an empty water bottle in front of him and the other mechanics. The fuel was perfect in color and not gelled one bit. One of the other mechanics commented that my see thru water separator on the bulk wasn't gelled either.
My next question, did you pull the codes off the truck? He says, I hooked up my scanner and couldn't read any codes. Really? Then how can I pull them up with mine? He says, that's the problem now a days. All you wanna be diesel techs think you know it all with all your junk products you buy. It just makes our jobs as actual techs a lot harder. I said, no, I just makes it that much easier for us to call you out on your b*llsh*t. He said I was just a smart mouth know it all. I told him to have sexual relations with his mother and the conversation ended.
In the end, they wanted to keep the truck for two weeks to clean out the fuel system, which wouldn't be covered under warranty. No, change the fuel filters and I'm taking the truck home.
