The filter should be drained whenever the water-in-fuel warning lamp remains illuminated. (Note that the lamp will be illuminated for approximately two
seconds when ignition key is initially placed in ON position for a bulb check).
A drain hose is located at bottom of drain valve. Place a drain pan under drain hose. With engine not running, rotate valve handle forward to
DRAIN position. Hold drain valve open until all water and contaminants have been removed and clean fuel exits the drain hose. If fuel filter or
WIF sensor is being replaced, drain the canister completely. Dispose of mixture in drain pan according to applicable regulations. After draining
operation, rotate valve handle rearward to CLOSE position.
