Thanks packteer and cooper92 - thats good to know.
I guess I'm just a bit paranoid after my first dirty fuel escapade. It started with flashing fuel filter lights too. I acted on all of the warnings and drained the filter each time - but still ended up with a stuffed motor.
Maybe I didnt ask the right question(s) - I'm not the most mechanically minded person in the world
I guess, what I want to know is, if the filter was full of water, is this an indication of an expensive problem around the corner - or is it common and is the fuel filter just doing its job? Should I take it in to be checked out, or am I being paranoid!
Should I have expected the fuel filter to have water in it with the recent rain/hot/humid weather then a couple of cold nites? - likely just condensation?
