Dodge 2009 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 - Manual (Page 94)

Draining Fuel/Water Separator Filter
The fuel filter and water separator assembly is located on
the driver’s side of the engine. The best access to the
water drain valve is through the driver’s side wheel well.
CAUTION!
• Do not drain the fuel/water separator filter when
the engine is running.
• Diesel fuel will damage blacktop paving surfaces.
Drain the filter into an appropriate container.
If water is detected in the water separator while the
engine is running or while the key is in the ON position,
the “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” will illuminate and an
audible chime will be heard five times. At this point you
should stop the engine and drain the water from the
separator.
CAUTION!
If the “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” remains on, DO
NOT START the engine before you drain water from
the fuel filter to avoid engine damage.
