Jim, Yes nice to hear from you.

Sounds like you have recovered from the surgeries but there is a price to be paid.

For the draining of the separator, do you have any children close by? I really don't know how you would be able to accomplish it otherwise.

Best you can do is watch your fuel source.

I usually check monthly. How much I drain depends on how big the brush pile is at that moment.

Same here. At 2 year, 10K miles. Completely drained (about 2 quarts) and had nothing but clean diesel fuel!

I'm fussy about where I buy fuel and use Ford diesel additive. I guess that's working!

I suggest you don't wait until the light comes on- that's a bad practice. I drain monthly or if towing and using lots of fuel from many stations at the end of each tow trip.

Yeah I know it stinks and always runs down your arm but a damn site easier and cheaper than a new CP4
