DIESEL 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 separator. 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.
