hi guys and girls,
i just drove up the waimak from west melton to the gorge this arvo. The river was quite high! haha parts of the access track further up it was a torrent that came up to the head lights. When going through said water i noticed the orange light below the fuel light started to glow (although quite dull). Does anyone know what this light means?

Cheers guys

what pic does it have ot it,id say fuel filter warning lite

i thought it might have been that aswell. it looks like a filter with a hose out each side but under the filter is a drop of water. btw it's a '93

Thankyou

Yes it's the deisel filter

does this mean it has water in it and am i able to drain it or does it need a new filter?

There is a drain on the filter.

thankyou guys.. my mechanical knowledge is next to nothing (as you have probably already figured out) but i shall go and have a look now

because it occured while you were playing in deep water and coz the lights only a dull glow it'll be an electrical fault not a mechanical fault mate, you'll have water in your electrics

undo the tap on the bottom and catch what comes out,then give the pump a few hard pushes,then do up the tap,undo the top tap,pump it till no air comes out,then do it up,keep pumping till the plunger goes hard,try starting the truck,and you may have to prime a few more times.
