Draining Fuel/Water Separator Filter

CAUTION!
• Do not drain the fuel/water separator filter when the
engine is running.
• Diesel fuel will damage blacktop paving surfaces.
Drain the filter into an appropriate container.

is running, or while the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the "Water In Fuel Indicator Light" will illumi-
nate and an audible chime will be heard. At this point, you
