Need FUEL IN WATER SENSOR

[crownjewel4]

I need the Fuel in water sensor for my M1009.
I purchased a new base and filter, but still need the FUEL IN WATER SENSOR for the base.

Anyone know where to purchase?
Or have one for sale quick?

Need to finish my project.

Thanks much,

You mean water in fuel sensor

I hate it when there's fuel in my water.

Yes

YES,
Water in fuel sensor.

Any help other than grammar.

Thanks,

Yeah, fuel in my water sucks. That's why I could never understand the concept of gin and tonic, or rum and Coke, or whiskey and water. Just....seems....wrong somehow....

The new base should have sensor included. I believe the sensor that is left off the new type base is the STE ICE pressure sensor, which often leaked air, so it was left off the improved base.

The water in fuel sensor is NOT necessary. The last three bases I have purchased did not them. I spoke with Stanadyne and they said that part is no longer made.

The ONLY way you will find one is NOS...

Good luck. I finally gave up.

so are there any suggestions on how to work around it with the stock setup?

I've been searching the forums here & it seems like a fair chunk of people have reading comprehension issues & when you mention the water sensor they tell you to replace the base because of fuel pressure sensor leak.

If I got it right the water sensor is the lowest & it bolts to the back of the base & runs through it into a grommeted port on the bottom of the filter. The pressure sensor is the round sensor in the middle of the base & is what usually folk have issue with & has been removed on newer bases.

Saying the water sensor is not necessary means your fuel filter would just dump diesel all-over if you tried to run w/o it. Mine's leaking between the sensor & the filter grommet & I don't particularly want to buy $75 worth of filter housing assembly just to fix a piddly bolt-on part leak.

That is what I am looking for.
Exactly.
I thought a thread would get an answer, or a PM from someone who has one.

Nothing yet,
Lil help.....

About 87% chance I have one from when I converted to spin-on. Won't be able to dig through everything until tomorrow afternoon but if its there its yours.

Okay, here what I did...Looked up standyne FM100 filter, they have as an optional add on function water sensor along with fuel heater that wires up to existing wiring.. I use 30micron with all the crap installed.. ie heater and water sensor, as my primary, and used 5 micron as my finial

 

[gvaneck]

southdave, could you post pictures of the install?

here is this, I am not home at the moment..

FYI.. I have an electric pump intalled with a diesel screen pre pump. the 30mic. with heater and bowl is right next to my 5 mic finial
