Water In Fuel Message
If a Water In Fuel message or
indicator appears in the cluster and a chime
sounds five times, the fuel/water separator will need to be drained immediately to
prevent engine damage.
Refer to “Draining Fuel Water Separator” in this guide for draining instructions or see
your dealer.
DIESEL FUEL FILTER/WATER SEPARATOR
Draining Fuel/Water Separator
If the “Water in Fuel” indicator light
is illuminated and an audible chime is
heard five times, you should stop the engine and drain the water from the separator.
The drain plug is located on the bottom of the Fuel Filter and Water Separator
assembly which is located above the rear axle next to the fuel tank.
Loosen the drain plug (located on the bottom filter assembly) then turn the ignition
switch to the ON/RUN position to allow any accumulated water to drain.
When clean fuel is visible, close the drain and switch the ignition to the OFF position.
Refer to the Diesel Supplement at www.ramtrucks.com/en/owners/manuals for fur-
ther details.
