I do not have the "Die4sel Supplement" for my truck, so I am asking here.
What triggers the " Fuel Filter" warning lamp? ( '94 IDI turbo)
Here is the full story:
I added 2 gallons WMO to the rear tank, then filled the tank. I drove, using the rear tank, towing my 5th wheel, to Hershey, PA. No problems.
On the return trip today, while pulling a long hill on I 83 South, the " Fuel Filer" warning lamp illuminated. The gauge showed about 1/4 tank of the mixed fuel remaining. I switched to the other )pure diesel) tank, and the light went out in 15 to 20 seconds. I switched tanks to "rear" again, and the light re-lit in about 1 minute. I repeated this switching several times and at various loads--The warning light always came on when pulling fuel from the rear tank. The time varied from 30 to 120 seconds, more or less. The light always went out after switching to the front tank--the time varied 15 to 45 seconds.
I have an aux filter near the fuel selector switch that all fuel flows thru.
What is the most likely cause of the warning light" my aux filter, my main filter or the filter sock?
( There will be no more mixing of WMO on this truck).
Thanks for the help.
