Fuel/Water Separator: Description and Operation




Fuel System - 6.0L Diesel

Fuel Filter/Water Separator

The diesel engine is equipped with a fuel filter and water separator assembly. Drain the water from the fuel filter at the recommended maintenance intervals. Refer to the Owner's Literature for maintenance intervals. If there is water in the fuel, an indicator on the instrument panel will alert the operator. When the indicator glows continuously while the engine is running, drain the water from the fuel filter and water separator bowl as soon as possible to prevent damage to the fuel injection system.
