Water in diesel tank in Douglas

Short answer

Water sinks below the diesel and is drawn in first. It has no lubricity, so the high-pressure pump wears as if running dry.

Anywhere in Douglas, a unit attends the vehicle where it stands. Typically 1-2 hours on site, and the price is agreed with you on the phone first.

Do not start the engine, and do not drive to a garage. Moving the vehicle is what turns a drain into a repair.
