Water in Fuel

[freddmc]

A friend recently had a situation where water in fuel destroyed his injector pump in his 2008 Ford F350. He said there was no warning that he had water in the fuel.
How can one check to make sure this warning system actually works? I have a 2005 Ram cummins.

Thanks

I know of no way to check it other than putting a little water in the filter housing and see if it trips the sensor.

I also would not worry about this too much with the fuel system you have. The CP3 pump is a pretty robust fuel system. The Ford system; not so much.

What T&P said. It's pretty much a non issue for you.

Most modern diesels have a water separator in the fuel line. I think Ford recommends it be drained monthly, not sure about Dodge.
