water in fuel light after fuel filter change?

[SOLIDSNAK3]

so my water in fuel light came on 2 days ago. parked the truck. emptied the seperator from under the truck on the frame. replaced both fuel filters. drove the truck less then a mile, and the water in fuel light comes back on!

any ideas?drain the seperator some more. it was barely trickling down when i buttoned everything back up. this has me stumped and worried. my trucks been so good to me!

let me know..

also, is there any addictive i should throw into the tank to get rid of the water.

lastly, my truck has a little bit over 3/4 of a tank full of fuel. i would expect the tank to be empty before throwing the fuel in water ight. am i wrong?

thanks!

(any addictive i should throw into the tank to get rid of the water.) If you have water in it you have to keep draining it, run some into a jar to see if you have water it will be on the bottom of the jar only need 2-4 oz.

Last year I had to drain mine 4 or 5 times to get the light to stay off

When you get corrosion in the HFCM water drain manifold, you can experience a light that comes on frequently - even when there is no water in it. You can take the manifold off and clean it, or replace it. Some people have had success by bending the end of a plastic spray tube, getting a can of brake Kleen, and spraying up in the manifold and letting it drain afterwards. From ones I have seen, I would probably remove the manifold and see what I had going on, they can get pretty gunked up if you have had bad fuel.

That water in fuel light is a POS! Mine comes on and the HFCM isn't even on the truck any more. I wouldn't put a lot of faith in it. Drain the HFCM into a clear container and see if there is water in it. It will separate if there is. If you don't see water forget about it and reset the display.

thanks again.

might be a sensor issue... this is what i just drained.


ideas?

Sure doesn't look like any water there to me. Like I said, something with that setup is FUBAR. I don't even have a sensor and I keep getting those warnings.
