Getting Rid of Foreign Substances from
Fuel Supply System
Once foreign substances are detected in the fuel,
the pressure sensor warning function is activated.
With this warning triggered, all or either of the
following measures are taken depending on the
vehicle settings: setting off the warning buzzer,
lighting up the warning lamp, and derating the
engine. If a pressure sensor warning occurs, check
the system as follows:
1. Take out the fuel tank cover and remove the
fuel tank filter.
2. Wipe foreign substances off the filter with a
clean cloth or blowing them off using an air
compressor.
3. Reinstall the filter and cover on the fuel tank.
4. Start the ignition and check if the warning has
been cleared and the vehicle operates normally.
5. If the pressure sensor warning persists, replace
the fuel filter cartridge. This replacement is one
of the items described in the subsection of
“Every 500 Service Hours or 3 Months.
NOTICE
Be careful not to damage the fuel tank filter when
cleaning it. A damaged fuel tank filter may cause the
contamination of the fuel filter with foreign
substances and consequently a serious trouble in
the engine.
WARNING
Before you perform service or maintenance, test
the fuel system for leaks.
