<DIV>How often do you guys drain your fuel filter of water? I have a Racor pre filter on the frame rail that I drain every week, once and awhile will get a few drops of water from the pre OEM Racor. I have never gotten any water from the OEM filter.</DIV>

WOW, 62 hits and no answers.


Am I the only one who drains the water out out of the filters?

John,

I check the clear bowl on my Stanadyne FM100 Pre-Filter for water about once a month (or whenever I'm under the truck tinkering http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif ). I also change the OEM filter and FM100 filters every 7-9 kmiles and drain the Mega Filter. So far, I have only once found a few small drops in the Stanadyne. In the past 19 years of owning and driving diesels I have never found more than a drop of water when changing and/or draining fuel filters. Just been lucky I guess (I also always use an additive).

I have never found significant anounts and never drained my Dmax in 3 years/72,000 miles, between filters.Edited by: hoot

I have the same Racor primary filter, and have never seen any water in the bowl, but I make sure to check at least once a month.

John,


You're suppose to drain it? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif


I haven't even looked at mine. I guess you're going to make me crawl under there and look now...


No wait, I did look one time and did'nt see anything wierd in the bowl. Maybe I'll flush a little through and see what comes out.

The times that I gotten a few drops of water they may have come from water stuck in the drain valve tube from running in the rain. Never have had much at all. Just wondered if I was the only one getting any water.
