DIESEL FUEL FILTERS/WATER SEPARATOR
Draining Fuel/Water Separator
If the “Water in Fuel” indicator light
is illuminated and an audible chime is
heard five times, you should stop the
engine and drain the water from the sepa-
rator.
The best access to this water drain valve
is from under the vehicle.
The drain valve is located on the bottom
of the Fuel Filter and Water Separator
assembly which is located on the left side
of the vehicle in front of the fuel tank.
1. Loosen the drain valve (located on the
bottom of the filter assembly) then turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN
position to allow any accumulated water to drain.
2. When clean fuel is visible, close the drain and switch the ignition to the OFF
position.
Refer to the Diesel Supplement on the DVD for further details.
