Water in Fuel Sensor on a 1994-1997 Ford Powerstroke is:

International Harvester part# IH-FRS9497N

Go get your new sensor.
Unplug the wire off the old sensor.
Unthread the old sensor.
Install new sensor.
Plug wire onto new sensor.

Option#2
Go to any auto parts store and get a 1/8th inch NPT threaded plug.
Remove old sensor.
Install the plug.

All this sensor does is turn on the water in fuel light when there is water in the bowl. IF you bleed the bowl routinely it is not a big deal.

As far as the removal of the sensor itself a 1" wrench is too small and a 1 1/16 is too large. I suspect 26mm is the size. However I just use a small pipe wrench for removal and installation of this sensor.

Where is the coolant temp sensor on 2000 Ford Powerstroke 7.3L?

It is located on the top of the water pump with an electrical plug on top of it. I just changed my water pump and the coolant temp sensor has to be removed from the old one and installed on the new water pump. On the 2000 model the fan pulley is on the water pump. Look behind the fan and belt, on the top of the water pump and you will see the plug on top of the sensor. JWM1031@aol.com

How do you replace the engine coolant temperature sensor on a 94 f-150?

Unplug electric connector. Sensor is in water jacket so you will need to catch coolant after removing sensor. Properly dispose of old coolant. Install new sensor and just make a little snug (with open-end wrench)- do NOT over tighten. Install electric connector and top off coolant.
