Water in fuel

[Donald Watson]

Bill,

What you been drinking? :-)

It was bad enough that you suggested pouring water in your tank, but then
"try to run the fuel down until the low fuel light glows"? Actually you
could put water in your tank (providing that there is a drain in the lowest
part of the tank to easily remove it) if you were that serious about testing
a water sensor in your tank, but isn't the sensor in your primary fuel
filter? (Pardon me, but I'm not familiar with the '88 FC fuel system.) You
could always introduce water into your fuel filter WITHOUT starting the
engine to check a water sensor, but then you'd have to prime the system to
get rid of air once you had purged the filter of water.

Draining fuel from the bottom of the tank isn't a bad idea. It does give
you a chance to clean out some water and sludge, but the task would be
easier if your tank was relatively low. There's quite a bit of head
pressure with a lot of fuel.

Have a good evening and enjoy the TV.

Hi Ernie, Ralph, All,

Have anyone changed these sensors on the fuel tank???
Seems like this could be a real diesel bath.

It also seems that the only real test to check these sensors is to
dump a couple gallon of water in the tank an see if the alarm lights.
Then try to run the fuel down until the low fuel light glows.
This is really asking for trouble.
Or I maybe I just have too much extra time tonight and should just
watch some TV.
