Fuel/Water Separator Drain Plug

Hi all. Hope someone can help me out with an upgrade. I just finished draining my fuel/water seperation filter. What a mess!!!! I found there is an upgrade to avoid this mess. http://www.forddoctorsdts.com/articl...icle-05-19.php Has anyone tried one of these and if so is it worth the money and where can I get one of these? I hope someone can help.

I got one, works great and you should be able to get them from the dealership.

A lot of guys have those and strongly suggest them. I put one in at my last filter change and the truck wouldn't run. To protect the engine, I re-did the procedure and put the OEM plug back in since it was the only change I made to the system. Next filter change, I'm going to put it back in.

I held a clear container up to the plug and it went into the small mouth jug without spilling a drop. The new plug directs the stream of Diesel right where you want it.

I put that on my truck.It works great.Then I took a 2 liter bottle and strategically cut it with a razerblade to fit right around the drain and 0 mess.
