Removal of water from the fuel filter (diesel-powered vehicles only)

When water has accumulated in the fuel filter, remove the water as described below.
1. Place a drainage tray under the filter.
2. Connect a hose to the drain plug
(A) and let it hang down into the tray.
3. Loosen the drain plug (A) a few turns
and tighten the drain plug when clean fuel comes through.
4. Bleed the air (Refer
to “Bleeding the fuel system” on page 8–21).
CAUTION
(1) Do not smoke or have any other open flame near the vehicle while bleeding
the fuel system.
(2) Be sure to carefully clean away any water drained out, because
any fuel mixed with the water could ignite and cause a fire.
