filled up my 02 7.3 today and water in fuel light came on within 5 minutes... what do i do to remedy this, change the filter, is there a filter housing drain? is there any other drains? my buddy says his 6 litre has a drain on the pump as well, does the 7.3 ? where are they located

There is a drain for the filter housing. Look for a small plastic lever on the housing. I think it is on the front of the housing. Turn it a quarter turn and let it drain. If that doesn't fix it, then change the filter.
