Milky fliud in water separator

[enie01]

My brand new M7060 has dirty milky fluid in the water separator after running for 4.5 hrs, and red ring floats to the top. Dealer thought they had bad fuel, they drained fuel, and changed water separator, etc. But the water separator is full of milky fluid again after running through new 10-15 gallons diesel from a different gas station . Does anyone know what's going on?

Filling with bad fuel or tank on tractor is contaminated.

Dealer needs to make this right, end of story.

I would go to your dealer, get a sample of their diesel fuel, let the sample set, check for fuel/water separation.
Check the fuel cap to make sure the seal is ok. Water has got to be getting in your fuel tank from somewhere.

Twice? I would want a replacement tractor or at least engine. Do you have any idea what the service (Oasis) record will do to your resale value?

If they didn't flush out ALL of the fuel line circuit and change the fuel filter there could be plenty of water there still. If the water separator gets full I assume the pump will push the water forward to the fuel filter, not a good thing.
