The separator is valve handle is on the firewall side of the fuel canister
On some vehicles, yes.
A fuel / water separator is basicly a fuel bowl. The separating filter is mounted inline. As fuel enters and fills the separator, any water present, since it is heavier, will separate out, and lay at the bottom of the filter. The filter will continue to separate the water from the fuel in this manner until the filter becomes full of water. At this point, the filter becomes ineffective, and water will pass through with the fuel into the carbs or injection system.
Located in front of the fuel filter you will find a yellow lever-like switch if you rotate the switch clockwise it will drain the fuel-water separator.
Not unless it was partially clogged.
I am going to assume this is a diesel fuel water separator assembly. Install it in the fuel system as per the instructions contained in the package. Check and drain it on a regular basis. I drain mine every tank of fuel if I am unsure about the quality of fuel I am getting.
That is the fuel filter on the driver side of the engine block.
The fuel filter/water separator is on the driver side of the block.
The fuel water separator is located on the frame rail with the fuel filter, you should drain the water and replace the Filter on the frame rail and the filter on top of the motor if your water in fuel sensor light comes on...
The fuel-oil mixture enters the fuel-oil separator. Since the oil is denser than the fuel, by centrifugal separation, it will separate the oil and fuel. the fuel will be on top and the oil will be at the bottom.
if it is a diesel it is built in to the fuel filter that is on top of the engine. on the 7.3l there is a yellow lever on the back of the housing that you can drain the water/fuel from it
The sensor in the fuel filter housing is bad. I had the same problem on my 2003 6.0L F-350. I had the Ford dealership change the sensor ($110.00) and I have not had the light come since.
