[@sidneybrady3227]

My brother I was looking for a video to show the step you just save my day , bless my brother . Thanks

[@Knokai]

BRO!!!!!!! You have no idea how much you just helped me out! After seeing several similar KZbin videos that didn't work, YOURS saved me from turning my truck in (I'm a owner operator), and getting a company job again! THANKS!!!!

[@CDLQ]

Glad it worked out for you!! Stay encouraged my friend I understand what you are experiencing.

[@NOORIKRAN]

Thank you so much. You saved my day bro. A little late for delivery but back on the road. The details helped a lot. Thank you again.

[@CDLQ]

Glad you made your delivery safely.

[@prestigetech3908]

Hey i was having the same issues with my truck same symptoms and shut down, tried and replaced everything you had but didnt know about the second valve. Back up and running thanks to your video appreciate everything .

[@khalidw5166]

Thank you bro you just saved me some cash. God bless you

[@CDLQ]

Glad it helped! If you repeat that when it does it again, it'll help get you to a qualified shop to diagnose the problem. Mine were the injectors cup.

[@evanmorrison7577]

Definitely injector cups, thats coolant not water coming out of there, truck will run all day throwing deisel into your coolant and when motor cools it'll flow the other way, coolant into diesel. So you can get by temporarily by draining fuel filters in the morning but you will damage the coolant system eventually with all that deisel.

[@mre4624]

God bless you sir. You're a treasure!. Lots of videos on KZbin but nobody explained every step in details.

[@adventureornot7517]

Thanks for sharing this a true blessing. I did and all issues went away thanks again.

[@feimohach]

Thanks sir, I just run into this problem, I didn't know what was going on, I just drained the fuel filter and the truck didn't shut down again. But am saving this video just incase for the other steps. Thanks again

[@israelmartinez2320]

Thank you , you help . I hope you search and find the Lord . I pray and he answers my prayers . Jesus Christ is Lord .

[@edinkaimovic1539]

Good job 👍

[@sherzodhonismoilov5858]

Hey man. Thank you so much. You saved me today. I can't thank you enough bro. Appreciated.

[@tarioboh3329]

Thank you so much! May God continue to bless you. So saved us money and time.

[@CDLQ]

This is my follow up comment!! I eventually replaced the fuel injector cups. The seals were bad allowing fuel to get into the water. However, until you replace the cups, repeat the process!! Thanks and God bless!!

[@jstew3181]

Man you a life saver. I was like what with this truck now! That was the problem. I still just change my filters and it time a pm. But this was very helpful thanks bro

[@naeemsaring4727]

That's good bro.. very helpful

[@CDLQ]

Glad to hear that

[@jmke2881]

I just purchased a 26ft box and soon I put fuel in the check engine light came on. I hope it's that simple to get that fix thank you for the information!

[@colecoca2883]

You have red stuff in your filter and that is antifreeze. By draining the coolant fron your fuel system your are not really fixing the problem what you really have is the injector cups. Should get them fix before its too late.

[@juancarlosnunes1426]

Thank you men excellent video

[@tonertheone1823]

I'm about to use these steps when I get to my yard tonight..my fuel with water light came out thankfully my truck didn't shut off made it home

[@FleetVGT]

thank you for sharing this video , it helped my driver a big time, god bless you

[@robertbragg9364]

Same ahit happened to me. Truck would let me drive a few miles and shut down. Nobody could fix it in bmore at that bullshit TA. Drove it all the way back to Cleveland, Ohio took 16 hrs. I'm gonna drain my shit in a few minutes. I appreciate it, be safe and have a good one OG

[@CDLQ]

Be safe driver.

[@EnigmaR25]

Shout out to you man many blessings cause you didn’t have to show us that and I literally just did this to the truck and it worked

[@CDLQ]

I'm clad you were able to get moving. I did get my injector cups replaced with seals of course.. So, I suggest you keep and eye on it and once you see fuel in the water reservoir you really need to get to your regular mechanic. God bless driver..

[@adilechcheikh1623]

Thank you so much brother.. you save me a lot of money brother

[@Henrytoptodo]

Broo you just save me a lot a money thank you so much 🙏🙏

[@CDLQ]

Thanks, no problem. Glad to have helped because it costed me down time and getting rid of good fuel

[@01..........]

Does it have any system when that happens? So we can check it. I appreciate it 🙏 video just answered. Thanks. Keep making video it helps the community. Best community I ever work with. 👍👍💪

[@robertotoledo1910]

A warm hello to you, I am not a mechanic I just play one on TV, I like to start by saying thank you for Sharing, It is said that a little bit of knowledge goes along way, but we got to know why happens what happens, It is important to know or take into consideration the miles That that truck has The maintenance, and the work that has been done to the engine if any, and then from there we can check and double check and maybe triple check By performing a diagnostic and troubleshooting the problem, and I pretty much have to agree with the two previous gentlemen to look into the injector cups, and I say 👀👀 into the injector Oil rings as well, ✌️❤️

[@amandeepdhillon6536]

Saved me thousands with this

[@pedromontoya2865]

Thank you bro

[@danielsemmens6640]

A case of fuel treatment?

[@charleswinston976]

Thanks bro I am having that problem now

[@CDLQ]

Did it work?

[@charleswinston976]

I had to replace my o rings drain my tanks flush my radiator along with my coolant reservoir

[@CDLQ]

I had do the exact same thing... I was just glad that I could make it home and have the work done.

[@phxbro1]

Doesn't water float on diesel, so if so siphon out or suck out water floating on top of diesel in fuel tank. Have you ever removed water out of your brake air tanks, I'll bet you haven't?

[@HTXatLarge]

Water goes to the bottom

[@ishdhillon4145]

Bro your filter is toast that thing caked got algae growing on it

[@jackfrost4919]

Thnx bro

[@CDLQ]

No problem

[@jamesgustavo7804]

Bro i messed up yesterday, i was day dreaming and accidentally put one gallon of def inside my diesel fuel tank. Man im stressed out on the repair cost.

[@CDLQ]

Wow! Sorry to hear that. What did you do?

[@pedromontoya2865]

That red is coolant. Water is not red.

[@CDLQ]

Lol

[@adventureornot7517]

If your having this issue is going to be your injector cups.

[@warsamearab7606]

It is only if it is keep coming back. You have bad injector cups. And you may see fuel in your coolant or coolant in your fuel.

[@TroyP20]

Hey I’m getting spn 97 fmi 16

[@gabrielzazueta2218]

Did you fix?

[@user-vu5pw4nu5d]

I'm sorry but your problem is injector cup

[@CDLQ]

You are absolutely right and I got that fixed. However, that temporary solution saved me a wrecker bill, made my delivery and got me home so I could use a trusted shop.. Thanks

[@user-vu5pw4nu5d]

@@CDLQ I'm glad you fixed it, the Detroit is a very good engine after you give it good maintenance, I tell you it's a tremendous machine. thanks and success

[@juancepeda9620]

How much to fix injector cup seal..?

[@user-vu5pw4nu5d]

@@juancepeda9620 This depends on several factors but my advice is if one has already been damaged, I recommend doing them all at once.

[@18rollin]

Everyone saying injector cups, if it would be injector cups it would’ve been the other way around, fuel in radiator, coolant is 1:10 ratio in PSI compared to fuel, could be fuel heater or something else, not injector cups.

[@CDLQ]

Your probably right but I replaced my injector cups and problem solved..

[@jasonlee64]

Thanks
