Thanks roadpilot. I already had tried that but was afraid of pulling to hard and breaking it.lol. We are on a trip now and I'm not messing with it until we return. If it ain't broke don't mess with it...for now at least.

Are you getting a water-in-fuel warning light or just checking as a preventative measure?

Just preventative maintenance. I try and do it every 5000 miles or before a trip.
