I've got a 2001 ISX 600 that is getting oil in the fuel and I'm trying to figure out where it could be coming from. On these motors the fuel pressure runs so high after the high pressure pump that it seems it'd be more likely to get fuel in my oil. Has anyone ever had this problem? The only place i know that oil is close to fuel at low pressure is at the high pressure pump.

I think you are right. I will ask my ISX buddy at work tomorrow.
NW can man Thanks this. -
There is a trp about that they have a seal at the top of the injector that will fix the black fuel/ oil in fuel
-
Are you sure the truck in not fitted with a Sentinal type system that dumps a bit of oil in the diesel from time to time.
-
I'm sorry, I totally forgot to ask my co worker,
I will ask on Tuesday.

Why do you think that there is oil in your fuel? I ask because there are at least 2 other things that can look like that, black algae growth, and the return of over heated or cooked fuel that becomes tar like.
NW can man Thanks this. -
really this is problem easy to fix. Generally pump. sometimes gasket

We had that problem when I first got the truck it had set for a few months and we treated the fuel a few times but couldn't get it so we drained both tanks and used acid to clean them then put in new fuel and in about 1 week it was already blackened and has continued to get worse. We also replaced all suction and return lines so they shouldn't be any problem. Got a new gasket for behind the high pressure pump that we are going to replace on monday. I've read some about the cooked fuel but didn't think it would happen this quick? Will post what we see Monday when we take pump off. Thank you all for your imput!

Im hoping this is the problem. Pump was replaced about 3 months ago do you think we may have gotten a faulty pump? We will know more after Monday. Thanks -
