Water in Fuel

Anyone experience the "water in fuel" light coming on when making a left turn? 1997 F350 4 wheel drive. light stays ooff in level running or making right turns but as soon as you go left the light comes on? I dont think the sensor is an expensive part so I will probably try to replace it. Just vthought that was weird. Suggestions. Thanks Maxx

Yep, matter of fact I did it twice? Hoping it is just an anomaly and clears itself up. may try to drain again and attempt to clean inside the bowl. Thanks

It did not appear to have water in it, but Im no expert. It looked good to my eyes. The truck is not running bad either thought I might throw that in.

Funny you bring this up. Mine started flashing today when I turn right. Drain it and clean out the bowl. That should do it. While you are in there replace the filter.
