    Where did you get the fuel from?? its not an uncommon thing for the fuel to be contaminated at the pump. I've towed lots of cars with water in the gas after they gassed up.

    Petrol or Diesel its mostly fatal to these new fuel injection pumps and systems. Esp common rail diesel. Any water in there and its history.

    And yet you see the pathetic sieves they install as fuel filters in modern cars. FFS, a few drops of water in a common rail and it 10-12K worth of damage. How about actual, proper water separators and 2 micron filters??
