DIESEL FUEL FILTER/WATER SEPARATOR
Draining Fuel/Water Separator
If the "Water in Fuel" indicator light
heard five times, you should stop the engine and drain the water from the separator.
The drain plug is located on the bottom of the Fuel Filter and Water Separator assembly
which is located above the rear axle next to the fuel tank.
Loosen the drain plug (located on the bottom filter assembly) then turn the ignition
switch to the ON/RUN position to allow any accumulated water to drain.
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.

• Diesel fuel will damage blacktop paving surfaces. Drain the filter into an
appropriate container.
• Do not prefill the fuel filter when installing a new fuel filter. There is a possibility
debris could be introduced into the fuel filter during this action. It is best to install
the filter dry and allow the in-tank lift pump to prime the fuel system.
• 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.
