Water in fuel sensor

I have a 2005 PS. The water in fuel won't go off. I have drained it 6 or 7 times and the fuel is clean. I have also replaced both filters. ( thanks to the awesome info given to me on changing the filter in the pump ) The sensor was changed about 2 yrs. ago. My guess s that it is bad again. How difficult is it to change myself.

If it had a lot of water in it, you MAY have to replace filter more than twice! Drain it again, but realize that it may need a new filter again.

My 2005 did the same thing...drained the filter housing in the frame rail..wiped it out good..let it air out for a half hour..put new filters on. It was good to go after that.

Thanks BPofMD. Have you ever changed out the sensor and how much trouble is it to do it.

I've been lucky...never had to do that.....I only buy fuel that needs tanks filled every other day or so....No water (usually) in those stations!
