    so I stopped at a Exxon to get 20 bux worth of uel to get me home and ended up getting the bottom of the tank.... after starting up, I didnt make it 50 feet till she died and will not start...

    I have a 94 7.3 IDI turbo with a brand new fuel filter... I switched to the front tank tried to pump the water out of the bleeder and drain it out of the filter but no good....

    what else will I need to do...???

    change your fuel filter immediately. i would also run a bottle of diesel fuel conditioner through her just to clean up the fuel system.
