water in fuel

Hey guys,my water in fuel light has been on for three tankfulls now.Can anyone tell me where the sensor is and how to fix the problem?I highly doubt i've gotten three bad tanks of fuel from three different stations. By the way it' a 97 cclb not that that matters.Thanks.

sure ...

you have water in your filter housing.
to drain open top flip up motor cover, on the passenger side of the filter bowl you will see a yellow handle. this is a drain valve. this will drain quite a bit of fuel so you may wanna rig up a hose and catch can or not be on your driveway or somewhere it matters. there is a long metal tube that comes down on the front of motor pass side kinda up there you gotta look for it. that is where you will wanna put some hose on it to catch it if desired. if not drain away. you should do this periodically. good luck

its the same thing in the picture witht the black lid and the way to drain it is the yellow handle.
id advise you to do this asap. my dad lost 3 injectors for failing to not drain his. fwiw good luck and it takes all of a couple minutes.
