Key Features

• Direct replacement water-in-fuel sensor for diesel fuel systems
• Matches original equipment function and performance
• Plastic housing for standard sensor mounting applications
• Pin terminal design
• No attached lead wires and no wiring harness included
• Fits Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty diesel applications listed below

Detailed Description

The Dorman 904-461 is engineered to replace a failed water-in-fuel sensor in diesel fuel delivery systems. By restoring the sensor’s ability to detect water contamination, it helps maintain proper fuel system monitoring and supports injector protection.
