Question Fuel reset light

Has anybody gotten a fuel reset light? As I am driving along, it appears that I get a quick flash from my instrument panel in the area of the fuel reset light. It has never stayed on and I do not get an "SES" light . No codes to be found either. My fuel pressure at idle is at 64 PSI. Any ideals??? 00 F-350

Are you talking about the WIF (Water in Fuel). Drain the fuel bowl into a glass and see if there is any water in it

The light is next to the "SES" light on the left side (right side of Instrument Cluster). I believe that the WIF is on the upper left side of the cluster panel.

Please describe the light you are seeing. I don't know what light you are talking about.

Okay, the SES light is on the right hand side of our instrument panel on the lower right. The fuel reset light is right next to that on the left. I do not think that most people do not know that it is there. But if you look hard or with a light you can see it. I could swear tha it has flashed at me at least once or twice.

Turn on the ignition but don't start the engine. Every light will come on for a few seconds. Get back to us on what it is. I've never seen a "fuel reset" light either.

I have turned on the truck but did not start it. No light came on. But it is between 18 and 17 on the cluster diagram. Maybe I am just seeing things. I dunno.

There should be nothing between 17 and 18

I looked at the gassers, diesels, canadian, and motorhome clusters

i dont think any of the super duty diesel trucks came out with a "fuel pump" reset switch and light in the cluster.

Maybe someone put the cluster out of a gas super duty in your diesel truck.

Can you get a good picutre of your cluster and post it here?

Does it say "diesel fuel only"?

He is right I am getting the same "Fuel Reset" light now on my dash that he is talking about, I was just on a road trip 3 hours and I could hear my fuel pump working harder than normal, I took off my fuel filter took out the heater and cleaned the entire area, put it all back together and still the same thing. It doesn't have the acceleration power it used to, it runs rough in the lower rpm, and top speed is now 65. if you try to go faster I see that light flash more often and hear the fuel pump under the drivers seat working harder. I came to these forums to see if anyone else had the same problems and if so what they did to fix it. I called a couple of autopart stores to see if there was maybe a seperate filter that could be clogged but there was only the one on top of the engine.

Welcome to FTE.This is a very interesting thread,subscribing.
Maybe you have a restriction in the tank.Those screens can get clogged.This is why many do the IN-Tank Mods.

There is a screen on the bottom of the pickup tube in the tank. If you have trash in your tank, this could be clogged.
