    Injector cups, cracked head, bad o-rings around the injectors. Fuel can get pushed into the coolant anywhere in the head where the two run next to each other but my money would be on injector seals or cups being bad. Good luck.

    Id probably run it all the way home. Much cheaper to fix in your drive way than at a dealer half way across the country

    Yall got me curious now. This is the first time I've ever heard of fuel in water, but I dont know much about diesel engines either. In a situation like this, how much fuel gets into the water?
    Is it any amount like water in the oil? I mean if so, he is gonna have a LOT of fuel in his coolant system by the time he drives 1900 miles. I mean, his reservoir might be over flowing by that time...???

    I'm just asking cause I don't know :) Thanks for any input :)
