p22669 is water in fuel

p2509 is a power problem to the ecm.

check for water in fuel and check all your grounds and connections

 

Thanks for the quick reply Carbon. Yes there is water in the fuel only though that indicator light is off more often then on. It's fair to mention that used fuel from 2 50 gallon drums that were sitting for a year or two although I used injector and water conditioner.

The tank is half full, should I drain the fuel and if so, how is the best way. At least Im near a gas station even though the diesel is 9$ a gallon. Thats only 250$ to fill er up. Lol

Drain the tank ASAP Dirty and wet fuel is a death sentence for these trucks !!

I would never use old fuel from some barrels that was a few years old and in unknown condition !!! IMHO

 

Thanks mike for the reply. Although the fuel came from a reputale source I was warned about water, so I took every precautionary measure about it. But still a mistake. Can I pump the fuel out thru the filtre canister drain by leaving the key on?
Thanks again.

if you have something like an airdog you could just hot wire it with the out put hose off then it will empty your tank. mine is something like 95gph so if you have 30 gallons it will take like 20 minutes or so. what will you do with the fuel once its out?

 

Aftermarket fuel pump on the truck will make this alot easier on you ,,,,but i would drop the tank if you arent running a pump that will let you drain it, the stock pump will drain it but it would most likely take a long time !

 

guess he fxed it, or got arrested for dumpng 30 gallons of fuel on the hghway

 

Lol. I ended up taking off the filler hose behind the cap and siphoned out what I could, put some fresh fuel in ans siphoned that out. Put new filter in, filled canister and put in ten gallons of fresh, but its still hesitating. So today I'm gonna pump out the tank with an inline fuel pump, put in some fresh fuel and a new filter and hope for the best.
I'd like to thank you all here for helping.
will let you know how it went.

BTW, I gave the ugly brown looking fuel to a guy for fire starter.

 

It takes only 30 days of sitting for diesel fuel to begin growing algae in it. Especially in a climate that condones condensation.

Algae will cause varnishing in the fuel lines, pumps and injectors. Seeing how that fuel was sitting for a couple of years I would say you are in for an expensive month....

Common rails are already at a disadvantage running a factory fuel filter that doesn't filter the fuel down enough for the injectors. Running nasty brown fuel through them is the best way to destroy them.

The good thing is your truck has a hard start which most likely means you have a couple of injectors stuck closed. But watch for white smoke out the tail pipe, if one or two are stuck wide open you will get white smoke out the tail pipe and fuel in the oil. To check for fuel in the oil pull the dip stick and look for Fish Eyes, these will be little spots in the oil where the fuel separates and leaves little dimples.

You can also dab the dip stick on a paper towel and if there is fuel in the oil you will see a light colored ring around the black oil spot.

If you see white smoke or fuel in the oil stop driving the truck immediately.
A wide open injector can torch a piston in a very short period of time.

 

glad i have a good ol vp44 lol
