-Jay,
-You must be buying diesel fuel with alot of
-water in it.  My truck has right at 16,000 miles on
-it now and I changed the filter at 10,000 and never
-once did the water in fuel light come on.  It
-hasn't since the new filter either.  If there is
-anywhere else around where you can buy you diesel
-and isn't overpriced, I would try it and see if
-this stops.  The fuel should be okay until the
-light comes on and stays on, but I'm no expert on
-that.  On our 88 7.3 the water in fuel light
-doesn't come on until the truck has already gone
-dead :)

Second that..I've never had my light on or found
ANY water when draining, now at 23,000 with 1
filter change.  I'd be buying my fuel somewhere
else if you have that much water.
