Wink water drain

under the driver side of the truck by the frame there is a plug on the side of the filter housing it is small it takes a allen head wrench, screw it out and you will get about a cup or 2 of fuel and any water that might be in your system
good luck chad

Also, if you still have a quite a bit of fuel left in your tank, you can expect to get some more fuel out of the drain. Make sure you're using a container big enough to catch more fuel if need be.

So if the tank is full,,will it keep siphoning out,,if you let it ?
I have not touched my drain yet,,,I have'nt even seen it yet.

Now how come it does not have a valve like the 7.3's have ??

Thanks; I figured the Cap was going to be it. I don't think it actually has water in the fuel. My empolyee that drives the truck buys fuel the same place I do and I have never, over 12 years of buying fuel there, ever gotten water in any of the Diesels I've had. The light has been comming on for several months!! I'll drain it anyway!!
