Water in Fuel Pump Drain

Water in Fuel Pump Drain
A question,
How many times do you have to drain the water out of the fuel pump filter housing under the truck? (Or how many times you do it)
I am located in CT, I usually drain it every other month or when the light comes on and when I change filters out.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
It seems like, That dang light is always lit at least twice month.
(I fill up at different locations, even know the fuel comes from same tank field in CT)
Thanks

I drain mine once a month or so. Sometimes there is no water at all, sometimes there's an ounce or so along with some brown trash. I think it mostly depends on the quality of fuel I get, but also on temperature and humidity changes that occur during that month. If warm humid air gets into the tank and then the temperature drops, condensation forms.

I drain mine every 1.5 years or when I change filters, the only time I ever got a WIF was when the sensor was corroded which I replaced. One of the things you can do to avoid water build up is keep the tank filled in winter. The more the tank wall is down, the more area for condensation to form. Your fuel is constantly returning from the warm engine to the tank, now you shut the truck off with a 3/4 empty tank in the cold winter and you get condensation. In the winter my truck is parked with never more then 10 gal. down and never once got water. Getting water from a service station is a different story.
