Abstract

A water in fuel (WIF) sensor is disclosed, and comprises a main body defining a surface, a pair of electrical contacts, and a third electrical contact assembly. The pair of electrical contacts each have a first end portion that is located along the surface of the main body. A predetermined resistance flows between the electrical contacts when the first end portions of the electrical contacts are submerged in water. The third electrical contact assembly has a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion of the third electrical contact assembly is located along the surface of the main body and the second end portion of the third electrical contact assembly is connectable to a ground.
