The 2020 3.0L is my first diesel engine vehicle and I opened this topic to ask questions as a novice to this engine.
I read the Diesel Supplement Manual on the warning light for "Water in Fuel".
I went underneath the Jeep and located the Water in Fuel Drain valve. It may require removing the cover I guess to drain it if the light comes on? The opening to the valve on the side is a little too small for man's fingers to move it anticlockwise/clockwise. Anyone had the warning light yet and how did they handle it?
And does it need to be addressed immediately if the warning light comes on in the middle of your journey? Do you need to pullover ASAP and drain it or is it Okay to drive a few miles home or to take it to the dealer to have the draining done?
Is "Water in Fuel" a common and frequent issue one has to deal with as a diesel engine operator?
I always stick to Shell or Chevron for gasoline. Is one of them better than the other when it comes to diesel fuel?
