I don't have info on the Strada's fuel filter sensors yet.

Fellow tsikoters, if you have info on Djerms' request, post it. Let's help each other.

Not really sure but aside from the water sensor underneath. There is another black sensor attached on top near the priming pump.

Sir Dieseldude, hope you can reply to my previous post on Strada fuel filter. Its just a few posts before this from the previous page. THanks.

My reply has been posted. I was urging fellow Tsikoters to contribute some info about this as I don't have the answer to your question. If you have a Strada, the information could be on the owner's manual.

Sir I meant this post. ^_^ Thanks in advance.

Hi Dieseldude,

Last month I had jerking problems with my strada but after a few re-fuels it miraculously went out on its own. I'm guessing I had a case of a bad refill which, when I re-fueled from another station diluted the contamination. My dilemma is that I recently replaced fuel filter and only ran 1,500kms on this new item. This was also the time frame when the jerking occurred.

You think I should change to a new fuel filter again since maybe contamination is in the fuel filter? I am worried if there is, it might get sucked by the injectors. Or should I let it be and just change after another 3.5kms? (i normally change every 5tkms) kasabay ng oil change.

The strada is running fine and very good now after 2 full tanks from another station.....

Many thanks and more power!

There is no need to replace the fuel filter if it is original.

Thank you DD for the advice.

Sir dieseldude, medyo out of topic po, pero maglalakas loob lang pong magtanong, ok po na maglagay ng 2T oil sa diesel na 1 part 2T sa 200 parts diesel? Navara 2009 po ung ginagamit ng tatay ko. Safe po ba ito. Pasensya na po kasi newbie po talaga ako sa diesel engine. Many thanks in advance.

Hindi ako makakabigay ng tamang payo sayo dahil wala akong formal advise galing sa FIE manufacturers. Chaka wala din akong experience dito.

Ngunit, sa usapan namin ng mga diesel technicians, delikado mag halo ng oil sa diesel dahil lalapot ang viscosity ng fuel. Baka masira ang common rail nozzles dahil napaka liit ng spray holes nito compared to the older designed nozzles.

Hello All!
1) I tried the "search this forum" button but could not find info on my question (closest i got was oil bypass filtration,or maybe its somewhere there??). I`m pretty new to diesel. I have a 4dr5 powered highhood jeep. There apparently is no built in Fuel/Water seperator! Is that normal for the 4dr5 or is it hidden somewhere? Otherwise, is there a correct specification fuel/water seperator (even an aftermarket aka replacement)? Or can i just use anything that fits? I just had some fuel system work done, so sayang naman if i dont take care of my engine.

2) Also my element type oil filter leaks at the point where the oil filter housing contacts the base (the one you screw the housing to with a single bolt) even when i tighten up the bolt on the filter housing. I`m used to tightening up regular spin off disposable filters tightly by hand only, masama kaya yung bottom oil filter oil ring ko? Its a new o-ring! Thank You! patrick
