Chip shop smell

My Puma still smells like a chip shop when starting it every day or when the tank is almost empty.I suspect that there is still water ingress despite relocation of the fuel breather.Landy is used mainly on the road and not offroad currently..

Would a Racor Fuel filter/ Water separator be of any use?

Maybe you should start using real diesel not the home brewn biodiesel.
