No need to be sorry, I just thought it was a little funny is all.

Well the light is coming on and it did so right after a fill up. I know I should switch stations but is there any way to drain the water out? Or do I have to just replace the filter? |

on the stock filter there is a plug to drain it - however considering how hard it is to get it to come on - I'd bet you have a lot of water - I'd change filters -and add some Powerservice. |

I had this once two years ago. I was able to drain it to keep going on a trip. I changed the Filter when I got home. Assuming you have just a small amount of water, you should be alright just draining the Filter. How close are you to a Filter change? If it's close, it might pay to change it now. |

What I like about my Racor with the see through bowl, I can see any water before it hits the paper and trashes it. My fuel cooler reduces the heat up/cool down that draws condensation from damp air. |

Ok thanks guys, my PSD Drains with a simple petcock. Figured it wouldn't be that easy! I think I'm close to the filter change, so I'll change it and put some additive in. Thanks again |

Thanks again There is a filter drain on the bottom of the filter. Might be a good idea to drain now and decide what to do. |

It doesn't take much to get the ligt to come on.... I once triggered it after power washing my engine bay. |
