Drain Water From Fuel Filters

C - Drain Valve

The primary fuel filter is equipped with a sensor that detects the presence of water in the fuel filter element. This sensor will illuminate the red “STOP ENGINE” warning light on the diagnostic gauge and also sound an audible alarm. A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC), a description of the trouble code, and the corrective action needed will be displayed on the diagnostic gauge.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS STOP ENGINE IMMEDIATELY and drain water from the primary fuel filter when these warnings occur.

  1. Loosen drain valve (C) to drain water and debris as needed.
  2. Retighten valve securely.
