titanium xs Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Does anyone know how to drain the water from the fuel filter on a 1.6tdci duratorq? I've got a Haynes manual, but the instructions are so vague I can't work it out. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will always be some water in fuel from condensation or cleaning of tanks in tankers etc etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanium xs Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 I knew I should have left it! I was just following the bloddy Haynes manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ippy Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 why not take it to a garage and ask them to change the fuel filter for you it shouldn't be that much (cos if you do you still have buy the filter so for the extra bit of money that pays for no stress if it goes wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james1089 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I prefer to go to garage for fuel filter change, when I got the focus uneven idling, asked mechanic to change filter, b4 I even left he said look pipes on the wrong way, ran perfect after that. If I had changed it would still be wrong 2 years later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
