Draining the fuel filter
If the 00BA
indicator lamp lights up, you must
drain the fuel filter.
! When the 00BA indicator lamp lights up,
drain the fuel filter with water separator
immediately. Otherwise, the engine may be
damaged.
0040Environmental note
When handling, storing and disposing of
diesel and diesel mixtures, please observe
the relevant regulations.
To this end, have the fuel filter with water
separator drained at a qualified specialist
workshop which
has
the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the work
required, e.g. an authorized Sprinter Dealer.
The fuel filter with water separator is in the
engine compartment. X
Apply the parking brake and move the
automatic
transmission selector
lever to P.
X Switch off the diesel engine and open the
hood ( Y page 168).
X Place a suitable receptacle under drain
hose 0046.
X Turn the key to position 2 in the ignition
lock.
X Open drain plug 0047
immediately until
liquid
flows out of drain hose 0046. Make sure that the liquid flows into the receptacle under
drain hose
0046.
X Screw in drain plug 0047 as soon as
approximately 0.2 US qt (0.2 l) of liquid have been collected.
i The electric fuel pump stops the flow of
liquid automatically after 30 seconds.
X After draining, turn the key back to
position
0 in the ignition lock.
X Dispose of the liquid in an environmentally
responsible manner.
0040Environmental note
Have the drained liquid disposed of at a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. an
authorized Sprinter Dealer.
X Drain the fuel filter again if the 00BA
indicator lamp remains lit.
! If the
00BA
indicator lamp remains lit even
after draining for the second time, have the
cause checked immediately at a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. at an authorized
Sprinter Dealer. Bleeding the fuel system
