If the “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” comes on and a
single chime is heard while you are driving, or with the
key in the ON position, there may be a problem with
your water separator wiring or sensor. See your autho-
rized 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 Indi-
cator Light” may remain on for approximately three
minutes.
NOTE: Care should be taken in disposing of used fluids
from your vehicle. Used fluids, indiscriminately dis-
carded, can present a problem to the environment. Con-
tact 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 drain valve (located on the bottom of
the filter) counterclockwise two complete turns, turn the
key to the ON position, 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 key to OFF.
NOTE: The fuel/water separator drain valve is located
on the bottom of the fuel filter housing.
If more than a couple ounces/milliliters of fuel have been
drained, follow the directions for “Priming If The Engine
Has Run Out Of Fuel.”
