Whats This

I have a 05 6.0 psd and a pic of a valve showed up on the instrament cluster does that indicate that there is water in the fuel. Could not find it listed in truck manual all they show is a drippy gas pump for that. This is a pic of a vavle any ideas


Thanks Richard

Can you describe it with a little more detail? WHat color is it? I havent heard/seen it and if its not in the manual, then that is extremely odd.

To have an indicator light NOT be listed in the manual is odd. I would double check it.

run the self test to light up all bulbs at once in the dash. then you can figure it out. hold down the trip button then start the truck and release the button when the word test appears. then press test to cycle through it.

Oh Ok, that would be the "check engine" light... If you use your powers of poetic imaging, you can visualize a profile view of an engine block and the "fan" on the left side of the pictogram and the old style round air-cleaner on top. If poetic imaging isn't enough, try a few shots of Stolishnaya.

Dude.

Okay, now you have to find out why your check engine light came on.

thats a riot, you mean to tell me they can't even spell out "check engine" or "service engine soon" any more. we would not want to discriminate against all those people driving around in $40k-$50k trucks that cant read....lol

Talking

Probably because the folks that steal super duties need to know what the light means.... they most certainly can't read English. I doubt this light is for the owners' benefit.

NO that is a disel thing. Take it seriously!!! I am very sure it is in your manual!! SERIOUSLY. Call your dealer. I know I have seen that in my 04 6.0 PSD users manual; the water in fuel light!!!! I believe you NEED to drain it.

He posted a picture of the light that came on:

That doesn't look much like the water in fuel light to me. I have that very same check-engine light so it sure isn't a diesel thing. It is a thing to bring to the dealer though, especially with less than 11K on the clock.

ps: I meant all possible disrespect to diesel owners. I hate them all. J/K
Well, except a few of the good ones on this site...
