A spin on fuel water separator having a filter element attached within an electrically grounded housing, a circuit (50) is provided for supplying an electrical potential to the filter element and the filter element is electrically insulated from the housing. Separated water is stored within the housing, and when separated water accumulates within the housing so as to contact the filter element, a current flow through the filter element, the water in the reservoir and the housing is indicated. An optional embodiment includes a pressure drop detector for detecting and indicating a restricted filter element. |
