Water Contamination

Water is more difficult to separate from biodiesel as compared to diesel fuel. This significantly reduces water separator efficiency. More frequent changes of fuel coalescers may offset the reduced water separation efficiency.

Excessive water contamination may lead to corrosion in fuel system and promote microbe growth.

Fuel injection system failure due to corrosion caused by use of unapproved biodiesel fuel blends will not be covered by Detroit Diesel warranty.
