Default Water in a diesel tank

Two questions. First can I effectively drain off the water which sits
under the diesel to the point where the fuel is usable?

Yes but still pump off the good diesel from an inch or two off the
bottom.


Thanks.

I suggest you get at least a couple of decent in line filters for the
future, ideally ones with bowls so you can see the sediment and run them
in
series. Maybe also consider an auto cutout so that if water's detected
in
the filter it kills the engine.


Thanks for the further advice. The whole system is being gradually
overhauled to I will consider putting filters inline as I move things
around and replace stuff. Any recommendations for filters?
