CAUTION!
If the “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” remains on, DO
NOT START the engine before you drain water from
the fuel filter to avoid engine damage.
If the “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” comes on and a single
chime is heard while you are driving, or with the ignition
in the ON position, there may be a problem with your
water separator wiring or sensor. See your authorized
dealer for service.
Upon proper draining of the water from the fuel filter, the
“Water In Fuel Indicator Light” will remain illuminated for
approximately 10 seconds. If the water was drained while
the engine was running, the “Water In Fuel Indicator
Light” may remain on for approximately three minutes.
NOTE:
Care should be taken in disposing of used fluids
from your vehicle. Used fluids, indiscriminately discarded,
can present a problem to the environment. Contact an
authorized dealer, service station, or government agency
for advice on recycling programs and for where used fluids
and filters can be properly disposed of in your area.
Drain the fuel/water separator filter when the “Water In
Fuel Indicator Light” is ON. Within 10 minutes of vehicle
shutdown, turn the filter drain valve (located on the
bottom of the filter housing) counterclockwise to drain
fuel/water, then turn the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion, and allow any accumulated water to drain. Leave the
drain valve open until all water and contaminants have
been removed. When clean fuel is visible, close the drain
valve by turning it clockwise, and turn the ignition switch
to OFF.
If more than two ounces or 60 milliliters of fuel have been
drained, follow the directions for “Priming If The Engine
Has Run Out Of Fuel.”

NOTE:
Using a fuel filter that does not meet the manufac-
turer’s filtration and water separating requirements can
severely impact fuel system life and reliability.
CAUTION!
•
