  • Fuel system warning light

    Bought this 2010 150 GX a couple of months ago privately.
    Full service book, 75000kms, Side Steps, Snorkel, Bullbar, Lightforce Spots, GME UHF, Towbar, Coopers Tyres.
    Promlem is that the Fuel System Warning Light has come on this arfo.So is parked at a mates till I remedy this hiccup.
    Question is 1. Is there a few easy things to look at first? 2. Have to take it to a dealer?
    So can any of you guys please give advice to a beginner. Ta

    there might just be a bit or water in the sediment accumliator (twist the plug on fuel filter) and see if that clears it, if not best off taking it to a mechanic and get the tanks drained because it looks like you have some bad fuel

      On the 120 series there is a sticker on the inside of the drivers door to tell you what to do when the fuel light comes on, I am not sure if the 150 has the same sticker.

      Instructions are pretty much as octane has suggested.

        Hi mate,

        Theres a sticker on the drivers door in the 120 that gives you instructions on dealing with the fuel system warning light, is it there on the 150?

          Check the owners manual if it's in the glove box but sounds like water as per Octane's post.

            On my 150 the instructions for the fuel system light are on the passengers sun visor.

            Summarised it says -

            Light on (not flashing) - go to dealer

            Light flashing - drain water

            Cheers

              Thanks for the replies. No stickers regarding info on this problem, found the bit in book that explains about "flashing" if its water.
              However, found myself in a pub having a beer last night, and a bloke who had the same issue.
              Apparently the fuel filter between the sub tank and main tank needs changing?
              So will attack that to confirm.
              Cheers.

                Mmm, yeah as a second hand purchase etc.

                Do yourself a large favour and change the main filter in the engine bay and the other one as well. This will give YOU a baseline of when they were both changed. Another recommendation is only buy juice at big places where they move a lot of diesel... The small cheap joints are long term trouble for a common rail fuel system.

                Good luck.
