JUST TURNED 16000. I HAVE THE "wATER IN FUEL" MESSAGE ALL THE TIME. I DRAINED THE SEPERATOR SEVERAL TIMES AND THERE IS NO WATER. ALSO, I NOW HAVE A "FUEL SENDER MALFUNTION" CODE STORED IN MY DIAGNOSTICS. THE GAUGE DOESN'T WORK AND I HAVE A ----- MILES TO EMPTY ON THE MESSAGE CENTER. WTF FORD! I GUESS ITS BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THIS ONE.
-ANY ONE ELSE SHARE MY PAIN WITH THESE PROBLEMS???

 

Sensor indicating "water in fuel". Drained separator 3 times starting engine between each purge. Indicator still comes on after 10 minutes of driving. Dealer replaced sensor at 10,000 miles saying it was "gelled over". At 20,000 now and same problem is occurring. I don't think they know what they're doing. Is there a Ford approved fuel additive to remove water?

 

May I suggest that you turn off the caps on your posts.Thanks we can hear you.

Yes there are alot of people with problems on new vehicles

Take it in its under warranty ,give the dealer a chance to fix it ,before cusing and what not.
Also if you lok further down on the site we have a diesel forum for the 6.0 deisel

PRINT it out and take your truck in to get it fixed.

I just had the same probelm with mine...i drained the fuel several times..then layed under there again...drained it..changed the filters again. It went off after a few days..but i did take it in and tell them and then showed them the printed bulletion..fixed..no questions-no problems.
