Water Separator

Where is the water separator located on my 99 psd? My water in fuel light has never come on in 20+k miles....figured i'd drain it anyway....

On my 05 it is mounted on the inside of the frame rail under the drivers seat. Your's can't be too far from that location.

On my 99.5 there is a yellow handle located on the back of the fuel filter canister. Just push it towards the firewall to open it and reverse to close it. There is a steel pipe that goes down the passenger side side of the block. Extend it with a peice rubber hose and drain it into a bucket. If you open it now it will splash everywhere!! Hope this helps

Geez everyones is different it seems, and it's raining so I can't really go outside and look! I'll just call my friend that works at ford. He's a tranny tech (i'll need his help soon! lol) and he knows a lot about the psd's.

Mine may be on the block also now that all you guys mention it. I have two sets of filters and I really didn't pay much attention to them yet. My Bad

You were right the first time. My '04 is also mounted directly under the drivers seat.

Whats up? I have been wanting a diesel for awhile and finally got a 97 F250 with the good old powerstroke, my water in fuel light has come on a few times but I can'nt find the valve the owners manual refers to, anyone know where it is on a 1997? Or a site with a pic of it?

thx

Welcome to Powerstroke.org! Pull the black plastic cover on the front of the engine. You will see the fuel filter housing and the yellow valve is on the rear passenger side can't miss it

Its on the top of the motor on the 7.3. Look 8" infront of your turbo and you'll see a round, black lid. Thats the fuel filter housing. Its also your water seporator. If you look on the back side (looking at it with you gut resting on the grill) down in the valley, you will see a small yellow lever. Its physically attached to the fuel filter housing. Rotate that to drain the bowl. Don't be alarmed if you happen to start it with out priming the fuel system (cycling the key a few time leaving the on for about 10 sec. each time) and it runs like sh*t for a few minutes, it'll clear up.
