gota figure out whats up with the "water in fuel" light

there is a pet cock on some secondary filter, but it feels as though its going to snap off if i turn it any harder.

those are usually plastic threads in either plastic or aluminum, in a fuel bath. they don't tend to seize up. I'd check availability on the housing/filter as applicable and go to town on it. hopefully it's just a sticky o-ring

ryan and i looked at it last night,  as i reached for the pet cock a wire broke off so i am thinking that was my problem.  reefed on it a little bit and got it to turn and glug glug, was clean fuel no water.


going to fix in daylight today.

yay broken wires! my backup lights were the same issue - was 18# of coiled wire from the delete zip tied off to 2 18ga wires that had broken once before and weren't repaired properly. cold soldered to the nubs sticking out the back of the plug. Glad it was clean fuel and not actual water. Considering I think we use lots of the same fuel stops that coulda been worrisome. Mine was dry when I swapped the filter a month or so ago

i suspected it was wire or sensor because i would tow for hours, then when it rained it with blink and flash.  the last two tow trips its been solid on lol

looks like water in fuel light stayed of from 30min into start of trip, through return trip.  so im going call that fixed

Brake line failure was weird.  Some bitch in a honda decided to try and hit the side of me while not yielding to her on ramp in sing lane.  i pump brakes hard to not hit her.

30 min later, upon exiting my ramp, 3 pumps to get any brakes, notice no electric assit humm and foot goes to floor slowly.  drove home.  used hand brake to stop a little twice

2' puddle below ABS / Electric assist thinggy.  looks like removal of tool box will be easy access to top of module where leak appears.  looks like 6 or so lines all pretty cruddy going into the top of this thing. 


bah.

took longer to R&R tool box than it did to fix brake line.  all 1/4" stuff, had to get some goofy fittings since there is 4 sizes used on the abs module.  just cut the rusted part out and patched in a new part. 


line was for passenger front, no go on cracking bleeders, so with a little enginuity, she is back and firm brakes.  parts to fix again in the truck since some of the other lines are not looking so good. 

rear lines new from bob job, front would require 2 new calipers, flex lines, and hard lines.  probably near 1000$   that will be tackled another day.

this guy friday night decided to crank and not fire

dash light said "coolant level", and check "electrical system" sometimes


Google said low coolant (usually caused by leaking EGR cooler) will inhibit engine run.


coolant level fine, so i ran to international and got a 33$ coolant level sensor that snapped in no tools, and still no fire. 


Took mikes truck saturday.


Return sunday, 4300 started on first crank no lights.
