: OK, I have looked for a picture all over the place. Where did they put the fuel/water seperator????

If you stand in front of the 3500 truck, looking under the hood, where is it??? ???

Thanks for the help.

Drivers side near the back. Look for the drain lever...

Thanks spots. I went out and looked, need a ladder to get to it, and a long arm. Mine looks like it might be a "Yellow Lever".

Thanks again.

I couldn't remember whether the lever was yellow or not so I didn't want to set you astray. Yeah it is a bit of a reach but takes all of 2 seconds to drain it. Check the Ferd forum about draining the 6.0 PSD one... :

Thanks but no thanks . I test drove (tried to) a 6.0 Ford after driving the Dodge but the thing cracked-popped-and clunked without really starting. And it was new setting on the FRONT ROW at the dealers lot. I don't want anything to do with that motor.

The fuel water separator is indeed on the drivers side back towards the fire wall. The drain lever on mine is yellow. Best access I found was from over the drivers fender while standing on a milk case. Pete

I believe the owners manual says every oil change?? I do mine every 5k takes, like I said 2 seconds.

Actually...my owners manual says to do it with every fill up! From everything I've read on here though...that is overkill. Do it with every oil change and you'll be ahead of the game.

This is the same valve you use to drain when you want to change the fuel filter too, correct??

bulabula

correct

I do it before every long trip (monthly) and more often in the winter, there is more chance for water in the winter here because of cold fuel and condensation. I think every fill-up would be good for potential condensation problems associated with freeze/ thaw time frame at 30 degrees or so. There are few problems with water in the northern climates in the cold- since water becomes ice. Us southern states have more water problems in the winter.

i actually do mine from under the fender.i put a soda bottle on the front axel, stick the tube in the bottle and open the valve. 8)

Dunno about the condensation thing I went out and drained mine. First time I did it. 25k. No water. Must be good fuel around here.... ;D

Lightman

have any of you drained into a glass and actually seen any water in the fuel? We had similar setups on our TDI's and never has any water been seen.....
