Water in fuel

[Wtrski413]

I have drained my fuel/water separator three times in the last year. I don't seem to have any water in the system, which is a good thing unless water is not being filtered. I've had the filters replaced every third oil change, 15000 miles. Am I doing something wrong because I don't see any water in it. Is this normal or am I just using good fuel. ilet it drain for 20-25 seconds which s about 6-8oz. Any thoughts?

I would say, keep getting fuel at the same place. but keep checking and draining for water. you don't want to take a chance of running water through the fuel system.

Thanks J. I have gotten gas at various places but I still have yet to find water in the fuel. I use RBP diesel additive/cetane booster. I will continue to check every month.

That's a good thing. I never have had a water In fuel light come on through 2 6.0's, 1 6.4 And now a 6.7. It just means the places where your getting fuel are frequently used and the diesel isn't sitting for long periods allowing water to get in there.

wow. I check mine every second tank, which is about once a week. guess I'm an overachiever.

We must have really good gas down here. In talking with some other f250 owners, they pretty much say the same thing. But I'll keep checking.

Ford actually recommends changing the fuel filters every 10k miles now. I do mine very other O&F change.

If I had any water in mine the last time I changed the fuel filter I wore the water! I pulled the top filter first and I think it started siphoring the fuel out because I almost filled up a gallon jug before I just bit the bullet and pulled the bottom filter! Crazy never had that much trouble before.

Blue, under which plan does it recommend every 10K. I just looked at my book and it says every 20K for normal operation.
