    kung CEL nga yan, kailangan mo ipa-scan para malaman kung ano ung error na nakita?

    pwede mo ba kunan ng mas malapit? mukha ba syang engine block?

    disesel engine ba yan?



    Water In Fuel indicator

    Diesel powered vehicles are equiped with separators that remove water from the fuel. These filters need to be serviced periodically. This filter system is termed a Diesel Fuel Conditioner Module (DFCM) by some manufacturers.

    The vehicle is safe to drive, but the water should be drained as soon as possible. However, if you have just re-fuelled, the fuel may be contaminated. The engine should be switched off as soon as possible or the fuel injection system could be damaged.

    the fuel tank needs to be drained and flushed, and then refilled with diesel.

    Usually may plug yan sir sa ibaba ng fuel/water separator. Luwagan mo lang un and then pump mo sa ibabaw hangan sa drain na lahat ng tubig. Close mo valve and then pump it again then start your engine it should be gone by then.

    had the similar issue with our montero. but the dash only lights up when you step on the brakes. is this also a symptom of water in the fuel system.?

    Sir is the owners manual still with the car? The step by step way to remove water from the fuel filter is detailed there. Being the lazy guy that I am, I paid around 200 for the neighborhood mechanic to drain the fuel filter and pump the air out.

    In hindsight, I should have just replaced the fuel filter since the filter isnt terribly expensive and the labor rate would be the same.

    just like any device, you will only learn the full features if you read the owner's manual. specially important basahin ang maintenance section.
