Hi everybody,
I have several questions about this issue:
1. In principle, what is the effect of higher than normal water content in diesel oil on vehicle diesel engine.
2. Considering the following values - app. 500 - 800 ppm compared to 200 ppm max. (according a EN-590 European standard)can this values cause any harm to the engine.
3. Is it possible that such contaminated fuel can alter the engine timing system setup and thus change engine timing.
4. Where can I find articles about this issue.
Regards,
Ariky
