Water warning light is on

Can someone educate me on the proper way to open up the water separator located in the frame rail underneath the dirver's side door? I know about the 7.3 just not the 6.0's?

I did do a search prior to asking this...

Thanks,
Danno

the Hex key is 6mm. Remove slowly and be prepared for a squirt gun like spray. I like to use a two liter bottle with the bottom cut out. Just place that in front of the whole.

I would also recommend buying the International drain plug. It makes it a lot easier to do in the future!

My gallery has pictures of the HFCM filter housing, the replacement drain plug.

Look under "fuel and fuel filters" heading....

I am not sure which thread I was on earlier today, but I went to your gallery for looking at both oil and fuel filters and was very impressed. Very good information and pictures. Just wanted to say thank you very much because is answered questions for me.

Thanks... and your welcome.

It took a lot of time to upload all the photos into "topic specific" galleries... but I figured that if I referred people to the pictures that it would answer a lot of questions without having to try and "tell" people what I mean.
