Water in fuel

[Gregory OConnor]

I never considered checking the sender in my tank because the amount
of water that is needed in the footprint of the tank would be major
if it was to hit and glow the warning. The fuel pickup most likely
is far enough off the bottom that 'at rest' water settling to the
bottom would not load up the filter on a startup. Once on the road
water gets sloshed up in the fuel feed, the filter water seperator
would show signs quick. the volumn of water necessary to glow a
warning light in the filter is way less that the volumn necessary
in the tank.

Given the posted reliability of the light ;A non illuminated water
in tank light is just as unsetteling as a false reading water in
tank glow. The only way to know if the light is working is to open
up the tank. I often thought of hooking the water in filter sender
to the dash water in tank indicator because if there is water in the
filter there is/was water in the tank.

the center dash came on. It went on?& off for a while. When I got
home I checked the sending?unit on the main tank. The wire felt
loose like it was bad?in the unit. It is a push on. Does anyone know
if this is the unit that is wired to? the center dash on is the?
buzzer?on the bulkhead wired to it? Can this unit be removed without
out draining the tank. I don't think there is any water in the tank?
I do use a water?treatment?in my fuel??
