Water seperator question..
When I open the water drain valve under the drivers door, to let the water out will it stop once the water is out?
My 2007 and my 2001 would stop after the water cleared.
Thanks,
Shane

No, once the water is out diesel will continue to drain out.
This has been my experience for 16 or 17 drains and I know diesel will drain out for at least five minutes.
I imagine it would slow or stop if you're low on fuel due to the lack of pressure but if you have a full tank the DFCM will siphon from the tank.
Epic (I think it was) discovered we needed to turn the bowl 3 1/4 or so turns so the sensor will trip and prevent siphoning (only for changing the filter).
When I changed the fuel filter, I let mine drain for 5-6 minutes and it never stopped.
When the bowl came off, it was still fuel of fuel but I know for next time.
