WATER sa WATER SEPARATOR ( XWIND )

**dieselNUBI** · September 25th, 2005 09:34 AM

chalk up another one for my isuzu.

everytime it rains and i use my car,nagkaka tubig sa water separator. nakaka bad trip kasi i have to stop, open the hood and pump out all the water. but if it is still raiining, maya't maya the indicator would light up again, may tubig nanaman sa water separator. My hands would smell diesel fuel for the rest of my trip.

just last month i was driving nlex going to pampanga, it was raining that day. upon reaching exit umilaw nanaman un indicator ko. so i went to isuzu pampanga to have them pump it out ( no charge ). to my surprise i saw a XUVi also being pump. so i asked the owner if this is a casual thing everytime it rains, he said yes.

has anyone encountered the same problems?

facts:
i only go to one gas station.

hindi bumabaha sa gas station.

problem ONLY occurs when its raining or it just rained ( basa ang daan ).

i tried filling up my fuel from other gas stations, but same results.

when i pump out the water, minsan may kasamang dumi.

try draining you fuel tank. after you pump, do u lock the pump? diba u have to puch it down tapos ikutin mo para mag lock yan? i dnt own a crosswind but an isuzu pick up. pareho ata engine natin... 4JA1. hope this helps

lipat ka na lang ng gas station, malamang may leak na yung storage tank nila kaya nagkakatubig. Try mo drain yung fuel tank mo and refill from another gas station.
Di ko pa rin na-experience yan kahit na sumugod na ko dati sa baha na lubog hanggang fog lamps ko. Subukan mo rin check yung fuel hose mo sa likod, baka may butas. or yung takip ng fuel tank, baka hindi na mahigpit, pinapasok ka ng tubig pag umuulan (w/c is still unlikely dahil meron namang metal cover yung fuel lid natin).

di ko pa naman na-experience but one reason is ako mismo nagbubukas at nagsasara ng tangke kahit di umuulan to make sure ma-close maige at di mawala ang cap. mahirap na...my officemate kasi nawalan na ng cap. perwisyo na abala pa. by the way pano nga mag-drain in case ma-experience ko

(bago lang talaga ko sa diesel engine)

dun sa ilalim ng fuel tank, merong screw/plug yun. makikita mo pag sinilip mo. buksan mo lang at maghanda ka ng malaking pangsahod - batya or your favorite palanggana

yun e kung madami yung tubig na sumama. Meron din naman tayong water separator under the hood na supposed to be merong sensor para madetect kung meron na nga bang tubig yung fuel natin. Iilaw yung "icon" ng water separator sa dashboard pag meron tubig. Madali din madrain yung tubig from the separator, pihitin mo lang clockwise yung parang platic na nozzle sa baba ng separator then pump mo yung parang plunger sa ibabaw. after pumping, re-tighten the nozzle. hth
