Understand the theory but I'm not likely to try often it in practice!

1. Water is an BIG problem for CRDI engines (or more correctly, the mechanical fuel pumps in CRDI engines!) - and I don't want to find out there's a few hundred millilitres of water sitting in there!! Pretty certain there isn't - I have had the car down to a few litres before but I also don't trust all service stations - it's not unknown the get a batch of contaminated diesel - rare but not unknown.

2. I just paid well north of $100 for the 70L of diesel I just filled up with - the "sticker shock" isn't insignificant!

I'm just happy to see the right side stop at 1.4L while the left more or less matches what the gauge says.
