12-38 Simple inspection and service
If the warning lamp lights up, there is water in
the fuel filter in an amount exceeding the limit.
Drain the water as follows:
1. Prepare a receiver for water.
2. Disconnect the connector on the sensor , then
turn the sensor in the direction of the arrow to
loosen it; the water will flow from the pipe at the
end of the sensor.
Operating priming pump helps quicken the
draining (press the pump handle approximately
7 times).
3. When fuel begins to flow out, close the drain
port by tightening the plug in the direction of the
arrow .
Connect the connector.
4. Bleed the fuel system. P. 13-23
5. Start the engine and check that fuel does not
leak.

kept away from hot objects and open
flames owing to the risk of fire or explo-
sion. Wipe up any spilt fuel.

or from related parts. Any fuel leakage
could cause a fire.
