I have owned three diesel pickups and now this ford transit diesel and have never purged the water/fuel separator. In fact I can’t even recall seeing one. I did however see them on a couple larger diesels I have driven. I make it a habit of changing fuel filters every other oil change ( 16k to 20k). I also only buy fuel from stations that seem to sell a lot of diesel. I figure it’s fresher fuel with less chance of contaminates. I also never buy DEF at the pump. Modern diesels are usually no more demanding than a typical gas engine. Hope you enjoy your new rig as much as we enjoy ours.
