Late Model Fuel Filter Question

[Bob R1]

I just changed out the Fuel Filter on my 2024 Roxor (2.7L).
FYI: Roxor Parts Direct has a very good tutorial on changing out the late model Fuel Filter. Very Helpful.
Using a 12mm socket, remove the two bracket bolts. Then squeeze the Fuel Line sides to release them. Unplug the wiring and take it to the bench to replace the Filter. Pretty easy to change.

THE ISSUE:
The Existing Part Number on the Factory Original Fuel Filter that came on the Roxor is: 006038451V01
The New Fuel Filter I picked up today from my Mahindra Dealer also has the same part number: 006038451V01.
The new Filter DID NOT have the Water Sensor Terminal on the Water Drain Knob on the bottom of the filter.
Has the Water In Fuel Sensor (Which is what I presume this sensor to be) been deleted on the new Roxor's????
Anyone else ran into this??
I called the dealer and a new replacement Fuel Filter Housing they had in stock had the Sensor Wire on it.
I can see where the Sensor Wire would make draining the water from the filter a pain. Without the wire you can just reach under the filter and turn the knob and drain any water out.

Changing the Filter was a good experience. I did not know about the water drain knob on the bottom of the filter.

I ran into the same problem when I changed the filter on my 23 last year. I have run mine for a year now with no problems, I still would like to have the sensor wire, but it seems to be fine without it

What's the pressure rating? Fuel injection is typically around 40-45 psi. Some carb filters are only rated for 10-20 or so.
