What other causes

is there any thing besides the inj cups that cause fuel in the degas bottle.
E99 f350 with regular antifreeze wont fuel in the degas bottle cause the antifreeze to turn clear.

Usually fuel shows up in the degas bottle floating on top of the antifreeze. Color of the antifreeze didnt change much with the fuel contamination, since most of the fuel floats to the top. I dont know of other causes of fuel in the degas besides the injector cups leaking.

The only location where fuel and coolant have the opportunity to mix is the injector cups (sleeves). Unless you've got major cracking going on in the head or block anyway.

No, unless you stick the fuel nozzle in there and pump some fuel in

Never heard that fuel mixed in will turn the coolant clear. It will definitely float on top of the coolant though.

Ah crap. I feel for ya. Clay carries the cup kit... I think my adventure with this was titled Stinky's Stick Up (I should have named it Stinky's Stick/Cup). It has plenty of helpful tips and demonstrations of what not to do in there.
