Its not diesel fuel in my diesel....
Well fellas it seems that my tank magically filled itself up when some former friends tore some stuff up at my house. I have no idea what they put in it, it almost smells like oil, but I wont know til I drop the tank out. Theres almost half a tank of "mystery liquid" in the tank, I havent started the truck but the keys were in it and I feel that they might have.. So I need to know if theres any way to tell if this stuff got into my engine or not. I thought maybe looking in the injector pump, or lines or something like that. What should I do?!?!?!

Pull the return line banjo out of the pump and catch the diesel in a clear container then let it sit, stays one color with no separation it didn't make it to the pump. 1/2 tank of mystery fluid... They had to have had access to a good amount of fluid... You could also disconnect the injection pump inlet and manually pump your fuel pump to fill up another clear bottle to help determine what they added

Thanks fellas, turns out they filled it with water. I syphoned it all out, I think I'll be investing in a locking cap and maybe a camera or two

i was thinking a shot gun i would have peppered there ***
fill it up with diesel and LET IT SIT for at least an hour then take the fuel line off at the transfer pump and crank the engine or hand pump it till you get at least one half gallon out this will clear the lines and bottom of tank the ve dose not like water the tollerences are so tight and the fuel keeps it lubricated even the smallest drop of water can cause harm. diesel fuel has lots of moister in it i drain my airdog every time i fuel up and get 1oz - 3oz of water
i would also drain/change the fuel filter for a few tanks
