If Diesel fuel which contains moisture is used the injection system and the cylinder liners / pistons will be
damaged. This can be prevented to same extent by filling the tank as soon as the engine is switched off
while the fuel tank is still warm (formation of condensation is prevented). Drain moisture from storage
tanks regularly. Installation of a water trap upstream of the fuel filter is also advisable.
