NOTE:

• Using a fuel filter that does not meet the manufacturer's filtration and water

separating requirements can severely impact fuel system life and reliability.

• The WIF sensor is re-usable. Service kit comes with new o-ring for filter canister

and WIF sensor.

CAUTION!

• Diesel fuel will damage blacktop paving surfaces. Drain the filter into an

appropriate container.

• Do not prefill the fuel filter when installing a new fuel filter. There is a

possibility debris could be introduced into the fuel filter during this action. It

is best to install the filter dry and allow the in-tank lift pump to prime the fuel

system.

• If the “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” remains on, DO NOT START the engine

before you drain water from the fuel filter to avoid engine damage.

EXHAUST REGENERATION

• Under certain conditions, your Cummins

diesel engine and exhaust after-

treatment system may never reach the conditions required to remove the trapped

particulate matter. If this occurs, the “Exhaust System — Regeneration Required

Now” message will be displayed on the EVIC screen in your cluster and you will

hear one chime to alert you of this condition. Driving your vehicle at highway

speeds for as little as 45 minutes can remedy the condition and allow the engine

and exhaust after-treatment system to remove the trapped particulate matter.

NOTE:

Under typical operating conditions, NO indications of regeneration state will be

displayed. If you do reach 80% of filter capacity, the following messages will assist

you in inducing and understanding the regeneration process.

Perform Service

• Your vehicle will require emissions maintenance at a set interval. To help remind

you when this maintenance is due, the Electronic Vehicle Information Center

(EVIC) will display “Perform Service”. When the “Perform Service” message is

displayed on the EVIC it is necessary to have the emissions maintenance

performed. Emissions maintenance may include replacing the Closed Crankcase

Ventilation (CCV) filter element, and cleaning of the EGR Cooler. The procedure for

clearing and resetting the "Perform Service" indicator message is located in the

appropriate Service Information.

Exhaust System — Regeneration Required Now

• “Exhaust System—Regeneration Required Now” will be displayed on the EVIC if

the exhaust particulate filter reaches 80% of its maximum storage capacity.
