Bad fuel, dealer said entire sys needs replaced!

The truck is a 2009 Megacab with just short of 6000 miles on it. No mods of anykind.
Apperantly I got a large ammount of water and rust in the tank Friday around noon at the 70/76 merge on the PA trunpike (breezewood). The truck never showed any codes and never lost any power, I still was getting low 12's when it went into "limp mode", still no codes. shut it down and restarted the DPF full showed.

How is it possable that a $50,000 truck would not shut down when a designated ammount of water was detected or even show a code for water in fuel?

What should be replaced? Flush it and try to run it or will I expect to have issues for the rest of my life?
