Product Function
This sensor is fitted to applicable water-separating fuel filter / vapor separator systems.
It monitors for the presence of water in the fuel and sends the appropriate signal to the engine monitoring system.
A water-in-fuel warning should be investigated promptly, as contaminated fuel can cause poor running and damage to fuel-system components.
