boaterboy Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I have to admit that I have only recently seen reference to a fuel sedimentor in relation to my TD5. Is it a fuel filter? What attention does it need, please? And, at what frequency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shackleton Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 There's no sedimenter but the fuel filter separates water and requires manual draining. It'll light up a warning on the dash if it detects water but I've never seen it in 10 years driving two Td5's. The sensor itself is screwed into the bottom of the fuel filter and can be broken off so check that. The fuel pump has a strainer but I don't know if that's on the service schedule.
