Is anybody else having any dramas with diesel. I have had to drain my sedmentor a number of times in the last few months, or is it just the cold weather.

Yep, had to clean my first filter twice in the last 3 months, or every 7 to 10,000k.
Sediment and rust.
Local refinery supposedly in Brisbane too.

Yes I've got a Coaster bus (1HZ engine) off the road for a week so far after a crook tank of fuel at the same servo I always use. Injectors plugged and possible injection pump damage so far.

Your filters aren't doing their job fair to say if you end up with damaged injectors and pump.

My feelings exactly, standard filter as fitted to cruiser diesels too.
But it has pulled the crap through it blocking one injector and restricting 3 others.
Once the injectors are cleaned/serviced and back in we'll know how the pump fared.
