David,
I have been giving a lot of thought to this--tho I don't have a newer engine, still worried about this vulnerability with the Ford diesels--particularly the fact that Ford continues to produce an engine that is sensitive to water contaminated fuel, but does not provide a system to sufficiently protect against it, then won't warranty when the HPFP grenades due to "water-in-fuel."
Yes, the Dieselsite unit looks good, also Fass/Airdog make separator units and others. Setting one up is my hangup, but will probably get my diesel shop to do it before long, as I do use an in-bed aux tank. Having said all this--I have a total of over 450000 miles on 6.0 and 6.4 engines without WIF failures, so I really have no personal reason to badmouth Ford over this particular situation--I did lose an engine over a rocker arm failure (another concern with the 6.4s) with my first 6.4 at 207k miles.
If I did not keep up with the Ford diesel forums, I would not be aware of any of this and would go about my merry way oblivious of the fact my engine might get some water in the fuel system...
Still a Ford guy, tho...
PM sent
Joe
