Ok, I was curious why the civvy had it wired to the light and the mil
didn't. I had thought that was maybe what triggered the light. I do know
if its wired to the light, it will make the light come on when the filter is
plugged... but my guess is you know long before the light comes on that you
have a problem... ;-)

Nothing is controlled by anything.
The round sensor, pressure sensor, is just a
switch placed at the fuel outlet headed to the injection pump.
The "water in fuel" sensor is that black stem, with a metal tip,
that inserts into the filter along with the three tubes.
All that does is sample for water that collects in the filter cartridge.
Filterv fills with Water, sensor is immersed, light goes on.
Two different sensors.
The mod I mentioned had to do with the
round one, pressure switch. Its only
used if you have the STE/ICE setup plugged into that large
connector below the dash. Thats where its wires come out of.
Most times, I've found that you have to be drawing a vacuum
before that switch flips.
