Water Woes

Charging my batteries Saturday and looked at my e-pump fuel bowl...

I know that it hasn't been that long ago that I cleaned the bowl. I'm assuming that the temps here in the last month had allot to do with it. 1/4 tank of fuel and temps in the 50's one day, then the teens a few days later.

I'd not worry too much; What water is there is what was in your tank. There's probably not much more left(if any), because water is heavier than diesel == it gets sucked /first/ == it ends up in your filter bowl.

Not too worried. Never had much of a problem with water. Started her this evening and some water come up into the bowl. The temps are to blame, 99% sure of it.
