Do you have a petcock at the bottom of your tank? Look at the very lowest
part of the tank...drain a quart or so from the petcock into a clear jar and
see if there is any water, or gunk in the jar. Do it a few times, and after
the coach has been sitting for a day or so. I do this as a routine every
couple months or so. There are wires running to a sender of some sort, not
sure
if it is for the fuel gauge or water sensor, at the sump (lowest part of the
tank where the petcock is). Can anyone tell us if the "water in fuel" sensor
is in the fuel tank or the Racor?

Thanks....

My water in the fuel lite stays on about 80% of the time ,it will go
out when the coach is climbing a hill. I emptyed the racor filter
element and replaced the filter, no help. is there another sump I need
to empty.Dave 91 WLPT 40

The sensor on my 94 is on the bottom of the fuel tank. I think it caused the
previous owner some problems because the wires have been disconnected and
taped up.

It sounds like the water-in-fuel sensor in the tank, drain the water
from the tank.

I haven't yet owned a Wanderlodge on which this sensor is still
connected, ... you'll have to tell me if draining the condensation
helps LOL.

I want to thank everyone for the help and information on the water in the
fuel lite. I stopped at GrayBill truck repair in Rock Port Mo. on I-29 and
had them drain the fuel tank and we got about 2 gallons of water and slop
out of tank, the lite went out and never came back on.while I was there I
had them do a grease job ,check the rear ends and adjust the brakes.the bill
came to $48.00 for all this and they were fast and good.they also have one
of the best chrome shops I seen in awhile and I bought some led lites and
will change my coach over to this. If anyone wants to get hold of them there
E-mail address is graybillchrome.com and they do ship, The one interesting
item they had was a brass train horn for your bus or truck.also one other
question when you have your BB brakes adjusted do you do a standard
adjustment or do you do a California adjustment ( 1/4 turn vs 1/2 turn)Dave
