water in fuel light

I've been noticing on my truck that after I clean it with a power washer the water in fuel light comes on, but will usually turn off after driving for a few miles. Then last week after a few inches of snow over night I went to start the truck in the morning and the light came on again. I've drained the water seperator a few times already. Am I getting bad fuel or could the sensor be going bad?

you're probably getting moisture in the sensor/sending unit that screws into the fuel filter. guess it could be in the plug also.

try spaying it with wd40 when the light comes on again. WD40 "Water Displacement"

I have the same issue after pressure washing , haven't had it after snow or rain , you might try getting a tube of dielectric grease , and put around the connector , it may not find all the access points of water to the circut or wash off next time .
