I filled up both tanks a couple of days ago and, after only three hours running the engine, I though I'd have a look at the filter bowl on the primary filter and the fuel polishing filter I installed.
Imagine my shock and horror when I shone my torch on the primary filter bowl. The contents were green and opaque! Panic!
Turning my attention to the fuel polishing filter it looked fine; crystal clear red diesel.
Back to the primary filter, but this time shining the torch through the bowl. Crystal clear red diesel, no trace of water in the bottom.
Turned the torch around and shone it on the bowl. Green and opaque.
Yep, shine the torch through either filter bowl and the contents are crystal clear.
Shine the torch on the bowl and the contents look frighteningly contaminated.
The torch is an LED, super bright, so could be a Cree led. I tried looking at the filters with my old filament lamp and couldn't replicate the green/opaque appearance.
It reminds me of the Lycurgus Cup
