I was not aware of a water separator before the lift pump. I don't see anything unless it's under the truck before the firewall(?) Or right at the tank.
Wow, just wow....

I thought that was pretty drastic too!


I would have siphoned the gasoline out of the tank. Supposedley the guys in the Alternative Fuels section of our site run gasoline and WMO in IDIs all the time. I've been too chicken to try it because I'm afraid it might kill my IP.
