A control for draining water accumulated in a fuel tank, without loss of fuel or ingestion of water into an associate fuel system, is responsive to a flotation device weighted to float at the water-fuel interface. The flotation device is connected by a lever to turn a rotor in a pressurized chamber thereby selectively connecting pressure or exhaust to respective actuation control ports for a drain valve and fuel valve.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is a float actuated control to drain water from a fuel tank without loss of fuel.
A float connected to a rotor in a pressurized chamber causes the rotor to move in such manner that a wiper carried thereby selectively closes, connects or opens to pressure a series of ports connected to a drain valve, exhaust valve and fuel valve.
