1.Water filter full of water.
2.Cilindrical fuel filter on engine, 90% water
3.Steady alarm on key turn
4.Removed wiring clip at fuel filter and alarm stopped
5.Emptied fuel filter on engine then connected wiring - no alarm

start by removing bottom plug in vapor seperator, large aluminum BOX on starboar side of motor to drain fuel...then remove plugs and turn over numerous times to expel any water in cylinders. im sure more members will have more replies but get the water out quickly !!
