Often, within a fuel system, water is separated from fuel and collected in a water collection housing that includes a water sensor. The water sensor senses and alerts an operator when the water level rises to a point where it should be drained from the water collection housing. Installation of the water sensor may require drilling holes in the water collection housing. In the present invention, a water sensor is installed in a fuel system by positioning a first portion of the water sensor inside a water collection housing, exposing a second portion of the water sensor outside the water collection housing, and connecting the first portion and the second portion of the water sensor, at least in part, by positioning a third portion of the water sensor in a water drain assembly. The water drain assembly is positioned within a drain opening included within the water collection housing. Because the third portion of the water sensor is included in the water drain assembly and the water drain assembly is positioned within the drain opening, the water sensor can be installed without drilling holes through the water collection housing.
