Trying to start a fire...

[serpa4]

In the past, when camping with a dodge friend, we used to open his water drain and fill a cup with fuel to get a campfire started. This trip, I tried my truck. I opened the fuel thumb screw on the bottom of the filter and nothing came out. As a matter of fact, I completely pulled the screw out and nothing came out. I drove the truck that day a couple hours ago. Is this normal? I think not, but could be wrong.

You can't start a fire with water.

Thats the smart ass answer for you were opening the drain hole for the water seperator. Gotta watch that Mike, he's a funny guy. That was pretty funny. :lmao:

normal, you have to pump the primer deal to get anything out of it.

The drain is on the bottom of the fuel filter. Why wouldn't it just run out? My last 3 power jokes and friends dodge just drains the water/fuel out when you open the screw. How does this drain work if water is at the bottom of the filter and you open it and nothing comes out? When you pump the prime button, is there some type of little tube that sucks from the bottom where the water is? What gives?

i think if you have water in the fuel it would drain when opening that plug

Did you loosen the vent screw on top?

Loosen top vent screw first, then open bottom screw.

Loosen top vent screw first, then open bottom screw.

Makes sense...

Nope, didn't loosen the vent screw. I'll try that.
