some even had a basic switch on the tap. once shorted with water a lamp lit up on the dashboard.

A few decades ago I owned an Isuzu I6 5.9 liter diesel, that had an aftermarket Racor brand fuel filter / water separator installed at the fuel tank. Worked great!
I've got a water separator as standard equipment on my 2002 Ford Power stroke diesel 7.3 liter V8. I've never had any residue come out of the manual release valve, nor, water-in-fuel instrument cluster indicator light come in 14-years now.
