can`t seem to able to drain the fue/water seperator. somebody put it in too tight and also rounded the corners on the allen head. i have seen an alternative drain plug on here, but i cannot find the other article. it is an International drain plug that suppose to work. any info would be great....

Thanks ATK for asking this question I was just looking for this mod myself. I am on my virgin diesel and this is one of the most assinine inventions Ford came up with. While fuel is pouring out everwhere, because you can't put something on the opening; reach up there and shove a set screw back in its hole. Needless to say, I don't think that there is a clean way to do this. It makes me wonder if the designers ever have to work on these vehicles.

I had the same problem getting my OEM plug out. Ended up using a torx wrench and hammering it in...along with a liberal dose of penetrating oil. I replaced it with the newer style, and love the ease of use.
