Here's a couple of photo's of fuel contamination.   I've got an old hi-lux (1984) which a caretaker put some fuel into.  He wondered why the fuel light came on and warning buzzer sounded.

Is that water in the fuel?? (at first glance, i could only see a cold beer!)  ;)

Yep, and the water is on the bottom as fuel will float.

That’s a lot of water :icon_thumleft:! If only it was hydrogen powered h2o  :occasion14:

Out of interest, how do you drain the tank if you do have a fuel issue. There isn't a drain plug on the tank, there isn't a pump in the tank.

I was only talking about this a couple of days ago.  Basically, you'd have to remove the whole plastic tank as there's no drain plug.  When I had my old petrol Courier, we got some bad fuel in Condo.  Got out to the farm and parked the front right tyre on a rock and removed the drain plug in the rear left corner of the tank.  Perfect drain and filled up with clean ULP from spare drums. 

Can't do that these days.
