Problem with Water in Fuel
Hi All. Been a long time and I need your help. I have a 03 F250 with a 6.0 and love it. My Problem seems to be with bad fuel or so I believe. About a 3 Weeks ago my Water in the Fuel light came on.I changed the 2 fuel filter's and drained the water. Now again the light came on. I will drain the water again but there seems to be a problem somewhere. Is there an Additive I can use that will help. Thanks Wade

Wade, it might not be a problem with your fuel quality at all. The 03 models had issues with the WIF sensors and the HFCM fuel heaters which was discontinued for MY 04. If its under warranty, definately bring it to the dealer for repair. They will give you the new updated cover without the heater and the better sensor. I had the same issues on my 03 until they installed the updated cover on mine.

Updated HFCM (Horizontal Fuel Conditioning Module) cover. It is the frame rail mounted filter cover.

Wade,
One way to say thanks to these guys that really help is to give the positive rep points.
Look at each post. Notice the little white scales after the post number. When you click on it a Reputation Points window opens. Say positive things...it's our way of thanking the guys.
