Title: Water in my diesel
Post by: Ccortez on August 31, 2015, 03:46:30 PM: My light just came on that shows I have water in my tank in my 2014 Dodge ram. I was wondering if there is ways I can fix it myself or should I just bring it in?

I would also add that I put a secondary filter in line that is 2 micron. I think in my 03 dodge stock is 8-10. Those 2 things will increase the longevity of your pump and injectors.

This! Might also run some power service additive to it. We had a problem with water in the fuel filters on our semi trucks. Was having to change filters every 100 hours.
