Last week, my water in fuel light came on while driving. I was on the rear tank after having drained the front tank, and both were filled at the same time. The truck had been sitting for a bit, so I got the truck home and drained the fuel bowl. The light went off, and I figured no problem. This morning it came on again. I drained the fuel bowl again, but the light is still on. I also filled the front tank and ran from this tank as well, but still the light is on. Would this be a good indicate the sensor is bad?

Thanks, Jim

So I ave drained the fuel bowl a few times and found a little water in the fuel one time. It was less than a teaspoon, but definitely there. After this, I still ge the water in fuel light but have not had any more water in the fuel. It has taken me a while, as I hae not been driving the truck much lately. Could I be getting some condensation in the fuel?
