I couldn't locate a step by step write up for draining water from a 7.3 psd fuel bowl. there's tons of info for newer trucks with the filters on the frame, but not much for the obs
best thing I found was this:
"Fuel bowl water drain - The water drain is a small lever (usually yellow) on the lower passenger side of the fuel bowl and likely pretty well buried by wiring and stuff. Some years have a pull cable attached to the lever that runs up to the cowl area. The "Water in Fuel" light on your dash will tell you when it's time to drain the fuel bowl. You open the valve for a few seconds and water/fuel/crud drains out of the fuel bowl, down the side of the engine and all over your driveway."
from this site: http://www.skoolie.net/forums/f34/the-care-and-feeding-of-the-ford-7-3l-diesel-10607.html
so I have a couple questions:
Is there any way to use a drain hose or jar to catch the fuel or do I have to just let it ******* all over the engine?
do I drain it while running or shut off? should I expect issues priming/restarting?
thanks
