Help. Algae in fuel. Thai build 2010 D40 Navara

[Hqgts2dr400]

Hi all. I was driving down the road the other day and got stuck at a set of traffic lights as I was about to leave I had the water in fuel light come on and the navara shut down. Now it won’t start and I have changed the fuel and oil filters. And had a friend look and I have algae in my injector’s and fresh diesel that was put in last week is now black. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I’m on a low budget and need the car to get to work. Thank you

Will this stuff work as I can’t get the car to start. And with the injectors having algae in them

Id like to say I know that the Nav will start. To fix the scum and algea your going to need to treat it..
No point replacing filters and adding more fuel just to get even more contaminated

Get a full dose of fuel treatment into it f try getting someone to blow a bit of aerostart up the spout while you try starting it. Pop the air filter & squirt it straight up the engine side.

Did you pump up the fuel to pressure after changing filter?

I have primed the fuel filter and have been trying to get it started and had no luck

Have you checked that your pump is coming up to pressure and that the pressure relief valve isn't jammed open on the common rail?

How do I do that as the only way I know is to prime the fuel filter via the pump on top.
Thank you

Think that's a job for a diesel mechanic, though old Tony may know an easy way to check.

The primer bulb gets quite hard to press once the fuel pressure gets up - if the release was stuck open, this wouldn't happen. If the bulb remains easy to press, there will be pressure being lost somewhere.

Remove all injectors, crank engine to blow all the shit out of the lines through the injector holes. Clean injectors place back in, don’t forget to clean the filters etc so the crud doesn’t recontaminate the system. Either dump fuel in tank, or add super dose of diesel conditioner.
