DRAINING WATER FROM THE FUEL FILTER CHAMBER
NOTE: If a sufficient amount of water accumulats in the fuel filter
chamber, the engine's warning system alerts the operator with the
warning horn. Some SmartCraft gauges are capable of alerting the
operator of this and other operating conditions/faults. Refer to
Warning System in the Features and Controls section of this
manual for more information. If the warning system alerts you to
this condition, drain the water from the fuel filter chamber.
