water separator

[strokein08]

My water separator light keeps coming on. I have tried to drain it but it only dripps alitte but it looks like only fuel is comin out. Any ideas?

Your drain valve may be clogged. You might need to take it apart and clean it out but you will need a new gasket for it. Also if it is coming on every 2 or 3 hudred miles you may have a bad sensor. In my 2010 the sensor went bad and it was replaced under warranty. It took a bit but they finally did that and it quit coming on. I drain it once a month and even took two of the bottles that I had drained fuel into to the dealership so they could see what was in it..... good luck

When you drain your does it drip or is there a stream that come? The light comes on after 10 to 15 miles.

Mine drains for a few minutes. You might try Seafoam, it will help disappate water but sounds ot me like you got a clogged drain. Seems like the ULSD reacts with water and leaves a residual buildup. I read that on here but can't remember in what section. I would that that the sensor is bad if it is coming on that often

Try opening the drain with it running then close it and shut motor off and open it again. It worked on mine.

i am having the exact same problem. Mine drain water seperator is coming on every little while. I think its a bad sensor. Hopefully i can afford the fass fuel system soon.
