No disrespect but I can't really agree with this statement..
If you try and patch it or sneak it by and they find traces on a later problem, absolutely they will deny coverage (rightfully so)
If you take it to a reputable, knowledgeable Ford dealer (they don't all qualify :W) and have them perform the repair as per the bulletin I mentioned you will have no warranty issues.
Clarify that with the dealer you end up at before you agree to do job there.
...no disrespect taken...but my experience absolutely proves what lengths Ford will take to void warranty...they voided mine even with a reputable dealership proving to Ford that their was no reason to not warranty my repair....
This is why I would be cautious about getting Ford involved until I had no other choice. If their is no evidence of DEF in the secondary filter, the DEF has not gotten into the expensive parts. If so, clean it all up and move on...you will still have the tattletale stored in the truck computer that you had a water in fuel event...Ford claims this tattletale did not exist before my debacle...but only after they offered to take my computer to Ford Engineering to see if they could indeed see this info...funny thing happened on the way to Ford...they decided it was up to me to prove there was never a light...mmmm..if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...it's usually a duck and Ford was just covering up more facts...
I know how far Ford will go to shaft a customer...been there...done that..and now drive a GM...
Good Luck to the OP...my heart breaks for him

I made a stupid and likely very costly error this afternoon. I have a 2013 Ford 6.7 Diesel. About a week ago, I needed to top of the Diesel Exhaust fluid before a long trip. I bought a 2.5 Gallon container and poured it into the DEF port. However, there were still 3-4 cups of DEF in the container and the truck was full.
I put the remainder in the garage and took our trip. I put on about 500 miles this week, so this afternoon, I though I'd put the rest of the DEF in the truck. I have NO idea why I did it, but I opened up the diesel cap and poured the remainder of the DEF in the diesel fuel. I didn't realize what I'd done until I'd driven about 4 miles and the "Water in Fuel" light came on. It dawned on me what I'd done.
After researching many forums, in all likelihood the engine is now toast, and the cost will be somewhere around $10-12K to get it fixed. I'm sick to my stomach from the guilt this is causing. In addition, we have a big family camping outing on april the 9th that I'm likely going to have to cancel because I won't have a TV to pull the fiver to it.
I'm sick, sick, sick of the stupid error I made.

At this point why not just try it as is since they say it's dine anyway. It wouldn't cost anymore just to give it a try.
