Fuel System Precautions

CAUTION:

  • Do not smoke or have any open flame near the vehicle while bleeding the fuel system.
  • Carefully clean away any spilt fuel which could ignite and cause a fire.

Removal of Water from the Fuel Filter

If the fuel filter indication lamp illuminates during driving, water has accumulated in the fuel filter. Remove water as follows:

  1. Loosen the drain plug (A) of the fuel filter.
  2. Operate the hand pump (B) slowly 6–7 times to force water out through the drain plug.
  3. Tighten the drain plug (A) when water no longer comes out.
  4. Bleed the air in the fuel system (refer to “Bleeding the fuel system” p.8-10).
  5. Check that the fuel filter lamp illuminates when the ignition is ON and goes off when the engine starts. Consult a specialist if needed.

CAUTION:

  • Do not smoke or have open flame while bleeding the fuel system.
  • Carefully clean away any water drained out; fuel mixed with water may ignite.
