How do you discard the water you drain from the water separator? Is it considered hazardous waste?

 

I save it in a coffee can and dispose of it with used oil when I change that.

 

Thanks Senix.

 

I dump mine in my home heating oil, I have never really seen much water maybe a couple of drops....

 

At 67,594 miles my 2008 Ford F350 6.4 diesel has broke down once again. This time they said my problem is metal shavings and rust in my fuel filter for not changing my fuel filter or draining the separator enough. I do this maintenance every 5,000 miles, which is what they said to do. I have taken my truck in 3 times for this problem and they just reprogram the panel and send me on my way. I paid an additional $8,000 at signing for the extended warranty however the Ford dealership won't cover it under warranty. I had to have the whole fuel system replaced but they didn't replace the fuel tank. $11,000 out of my pocket because Ford's diesel trucks can not handle using diesel fuel. Now, 3 months later, less than 3,000 miles since I have had the whole system replaced, the truck breaks down again. I take it to Ford and again they say there is metal in the fuel system. In addition, I just had the oil changed, water separator drained and fuel filters changed again, 200 miles before it broke down again and only 1,200 miles after it was replaced while Ford had it. This sounds like a manufacture defect and we are being screwed. I want my money back and I want it fixed right. A truck with only 67,594 miles should not be having $11,000 worth of repairs. Ford is not Built Tuff like they claim. I can not baby this truck anymore than what I already do. Oil changes, fuel additives, high dollar spark plugs, K&N air filter....etc. My wife makes fun of me because every 3 months I dump $300 in preventive maintenance on this stupid truck. What can I do to get this problem resolved? Do I need a lawyer? Is there anyone else out there that will join my lawsuit?

 

You're problem is not Ford. Why should they warranty bad fuel with water in it? This is a claim against the fuel station....quit buying your fuel from them. You haven't learned because you have done this more than once.


turn it into your insurance like everyone else.

 

Your 6.4 has spark plugs?

 

Maybe you didn't see them

Buy fuel where they move a lot of it like a truck stop. I am going out right now to find my spark plugs, with 169,000 miles on it I am sure they need changed!

 

Take pictures of where they are! Mine has over 160,000 miles on it, so mine should be changed too. I must confess though, I've never even considered changing the spark plugs on it. Does that make me a bad truck owner?
