2KD-FTV Fuel system warning light (Fixed??)

[venrich]

good day sir / ma'am,

it was yesterday i noted that my warning light stays ON even with the engine running. my manual said that my fuel filter need to be replaced(with warning light steady on).
but never i saw it yet in flashing mode which the manual tells that there's a certain amount of water accumulation in the filter and bleeding the filter system is required.

my odo now clocked at 17,996km. yet the manual said; the fuel filter needs a replacement at 40,000km. confused and so i searched the net and found this one to reset the warning light system. what i did was disconnected the fuel filter's electrical connection while engine ignition at OFF. start the engine then wait for 3 seconds at least before re-connecting the filter's electrical line. now GONE the warning light. though it never came ON atm yet i'm still observing with it.

now i'm wondering what caused the warning light ON such soon. was it a glitch or something,,,?

Sir, baka may tubig yung diesel last na nag fuel up ka.

Light indicates presence of water in the fuel filter. Sometimes, when it lits, it is already too late and may water contamination na nakapasok sa HP pump and Injectors. Anyway, anung gas station and branch location ka usually nagpapakarga?

I usuall change my fuel filter every other change oil or 10-15T kms. After over 12 years and 260T kms of owning a crdi engine car, di ko pa naexperience ang water light. All fuel system parts are still original and never been touched.

I would suggest na palitan mo na filter, mas mahal magastos and time and labor consuming if masira pa injectors or SCV.

i always fill-up my tank with this shell station just near my place, nothing else sir.
thanks for the heads up.
