Fuel filter (for diesel)
Draining water from the fuel filter
The fuel filter for diesel engine plays an
important role of separating water from
fuel and accumulating the water in its
bottom.
If water accumulates in the fuel filter, the
warning light comes on when the igni
-
tion switch is in the ON position.
If this warning light appears, take
your car to a professional work
-
shop and have drain the water and
check the system. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
If the water accumulated in the fuel filter
is not drained at proper times, damages
to the major parts such as the fuel sys
-
tem can be caused by water permeation
in the fuel filter.
