Diesel 6.2 L Water in Fuel Problems HELPPP!!
 

HI,

I have a Chevy 1985 6.2L Diesel p/u that for may months has had teh
water in fuel indicator lit up. I removed the water filter / seperator
earlier, tipped out the fluid and then reattached it. The truck
started up and then suddenly cut out. And since then as many times as
I have tried to start the truck up it will not start up. Can anyone
tell me what is wrong and how I can remedy the situation, please.
Thank you for any assistance or advice.

Also do not let it sit for months with teh water in filter light one!
Water, once it gets into the injection pump and injectors is fatal to
either. Light comes on, drain the filter, easy to do.

you need to purge the air out of the fuel system.
i am not sure if your 85 has an electric fuel pump to fill the fuel filter
or not.
try removing the filter/water separator assembly, and filling to up with
clean fuel or diesel kleen, then try starting it again. it may catch.

Have You Tried pouring a can of 'Dry-out' from your local auto parts
store into your fuel tank?

Be absolutely sure you try a product that is designed for diesel fuel,
a gasoline addative will cause substantial damage! This is
particularily true regarding products such as 'Drygas'!

Do not let a part's store clerk tell you 'it doesn't say diesel, but
it will be OK!'.
