WIF sensor Fuel filter 1 is equipped with a chamber in the lower region that collects the
separated water.
The sensor emits a signal when the chamber is full (WIF = Water in Fuel).
If the lamp (1) on the instrument panel lights up then you must drain the
water from fuel filter 1.
• Where possible, drain the water regularly before the sensor is triggered.
• Note that the quality of the fuel, and thus the water content, can vary
greatly with the site.
• Daily water draining may be necessary in the case of very low quality fuel.
Draining off water
• Place a receptacle underneath the filter.
• Open the valve (1).
• If the consumable that emerges is clean,
close the valve by hand.
• Remove the receptacle and properly
dispose of the drained consumable.
