I have a 2016 cascadia with a dd15 engine in it.
This truck has 650,000 miles on it.
Driver gets a light on dash for water in fuel.
Had fuel and water fuel separator filters changed, ended with the same result again.
Engine shut down and has since had injector cups replaced, and fuel system cleaned from tanks to lines and all.
We get the truck running again and now it is getting fuel in the cooling system as well as coolant in the fuel.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does it have a heated fuel filter.. if so I’d bypass that for now to see if that’s the problem.

Injector cup o rings. Common issue on DD15.
Dave_in_AZ, mhyn and spsauerland Thank this. -
I have talked to several people who say that the filter housing could be cracked internally letting this happen.Dave_in_AZ and magoo68 Thank this. -
DD15 injector cup o rings are a PIA to replace correctly. The o ring has to be placed in the head and carefully tucked under a lip with a 90 degree pick tool. They are not placed on the cup prior to screwing or swedging the cup into the head. It is difficult every time we do it, especially on #5/#6 where it is hard to see what you are doing.

Ran it two hours to see what happened.
Truck ran fine until it sat for 2 days, then crank truck and it shuts down with wif light on again after sitting for 2 whole days engine off. -
Same answer as before. I do this for a living and make mistakes while "fixing" stuff. If you are confident that there is no way that you made a mistake while installing then I am out of ideas and wish you the best of luck in getting your issue resolved.

Maybe I’m wrong but I thought injector cups mostly leak into the oil ??
