I have a 2007 Volvo with a VED12 engine ok picture this, my expansion tank on cooling system has diesel in it with coolant , my Davco water fuel separator has fuel on top and coolant on the bottom, the secondary filter on the drivers side had a little coolant in the bottom, but there is no coolant in the fuel tanks. The truck runs great and pulls strong, no missing, no white smoke, no obvious leaks. My friend is a mechanic and thinks it's leaking in through the Davco, is there any place beyond the Davco where Fuel and Coolant are close to each other and could mix? Checked the oil and it is good, but truck will loose prime if you park it overnight. thanks for the replies.
Where's the coolant mixing?

You probably do have coolant in your tanks,but you dont know it. The coolant as you know would be on the very bottom so short of pulling the plugs youd be oblivious.
If you dont get the injector cups fixed soon it will start drooling coolant out of your overflow and overheating.mikey747, Roger McG, KB3MMX and 1 other person Thank this. -

even if you by pass davco your cups are done they probably have holes thru them or not seating properly.
mikey747 and QUALITYTRUCK Thank this. -

Thanks to every one that replied, but I bypassed the Davco on 01-13-17 and that fixed the problem no more fuel in my over flow bottle. Also when I bypassed the Davco, found it to have metal pieces in the bottom of it at the base of the heat exchanger and leaking out of the bottom. Also I found a blockage holding the check valve open. I replaced the Davco and my Truck is running like a champ again. I've been running hard for past 11 days and no problems, yes I did flush the cooling system and the fuel system, so thanks for the advice.

My problem with my D12 2006 Volvo is that water separator is filling up to top quickly so i change different filters pix every few weeks , i got no codes , no bubbles , any ideas
-
The lower the micron rating, the faster the fuel goes toward the top. When is the last time the fuel filters were changed on the side of the engine?
-
Try to use FS19729 50 micron had very good luck with volvos with this fitler this being said also need to check if tank are dirty if this is the case than need to clean tanks instead of always replacing filters.
