hi i am having aproblem with my 95e350 7.3. my truck was idling for about 5 min and i noticed it started running rough and loud. i shut off the truck and now it wont start. i'm guessing its a fuel problem. i located the fuel filter but i cant find the drain. im lost here as i'm new to diesel. does anyone know were i can drain the water out of the system or where the fuel pump is located or the primary pump. thanks
