Iam lovin it. Latter...................

 

I have heard advice against using the water delete additive. If you don't use it, the water will be separated and dumped at the fuel filter. If you use the additive, it will dissolve the water, reducing the lubricity of the fuel.

High volume stations can bite you too. It's all a matter of how well they keep their tanks, risers and lids watertight, coupled with regular water checks. How low the tank is on fuel doesn't matter - the water is heavier so it will be at the bottom of the tank where the pickup is. When acceleration pushes the water by the pickup, it will get carried to the fuel filter.

Whenever I get water from a station it usually takes two tanks to go away. The worst I ever had was from the T/A at Biggs, OR. 25 miles later I had the light on, and I stopped about 5 times on that one tank.

 

Hussler:
Just a thought to possibly keep you from needlessly removing your fuel tanks.
Get a small tube of "Litmus Paste". The paste will turn bright red if it comes in contact with water.

You can probably use a length of hose and paint it with the paste at least 6" from the end and check your tank (s). If you have duel tanks and you find water in one you have to wipe the hose clean and reapply before checking the other tank.

I'm pretty sure that you are going to find water. The paste should be sold at auto parts stores if not try a fuel distributer they use it all of the time to check underground tanks for water.

Good luck.

The membership makes it easier to find information, and less clutter on the pages you are viewing.

But it does not entitle you to a personal mechanic or personal search engines.

I gave the answers I did because you kept asking the same questions, and they had already been answered.

You kept saying "I'll handle it myself". To me, that says "Okay, if you won't do it for me, I'll do it."

Maybe I'm off base, but without being able to actually hear you, that's how I interpret it. I'm not trying to start crap, I'm just telling you how I saw your responses.

 

where is the fuel water seperator, kind of new with the PSD, just wanted to know so I can be ahead of the game if the light comes on.

 

Welcome to FTE

It's on top the engine, front, center, connected to the fuel filter canister. Yellow lever...can't miss it. You may need to remove the decorative cover?

 

thanks a bunch, I thought it was there but wasnt sure!

 

Thanks to all for the advice. I was/am having the same issue. My WIF light will only come on during a right - hand corner. I have been puzzled, but thought little of it becuase it is intermittent. I finally remembered to get on here to ask everybody.

I drained my bowl tonight. We'll see what happens tomorrow. :\

 

My 96 PSD wont start today, here in michigan we had a wild cold front come in and dropped the temps like 30 degrees, I tried to drain the fuel bowl but I dont think Im doing it right because nothing is coming out. do you push do on the yellow lever or do you turn it?

 

Turn it. Where you at in MI? try pluggin in the block heater

 

it is plugged in, I live in grand rapids ( western side of the state) I've been told two possibilitys what is wrong with it, Glow plug relay, and weak batteries

 

I'm in Muskegon just 30 minutes from you.

Plugging in the block will help both of those though it will help the GP's more than the batteries. Does it seem to crank slower than normal?

 

yeah it seems to, I had the batts tested about 2 wks ago and one tested 450 cca and the other one was 700, now to find some batteries that arent so damn expensive!

 

put 2 new batts in and still wont fire up any one have any idea's?

 

Next test...GPR .........
