diesel vehicles at our school in The Bahamas, and we have a steady

quite understand how filtering removes cloudiness that comes from liquid

Does filtering remove the cloudiness?
Usually works wonders, needs to be fairly fine filter medium though. For

Christian,
If it's been three days, I would do two things. One would be to heat a liter to
~120*F and see if any water drops and the fuel clears. Should be no need to
heat any higher.
The second would be to take the fuel you've heated, let it cool, then subject
it to a new single stage base
