ideas please

hi i have a 61 reg disco 4 the warning light has come on saying water in fuel we have checked the fuel pump and there was no water anhave read it could be a sensor what sensor does anyone have any ideas thank you

Is there not a plug for the sensor on the underneath of the fuel filter?

Cheers

Welcome to LZ

You have to change the fuel filter housing

thanks will try that first and see how it goes

going to pop into garage next week will mention iy

I used to get the water in fuel sensor light coming on when the road was very wet! Once I wrapped the sensor connector in fusible silicon tape (electrical tape tends to unravel) no water got into the end of the plug and no warning light for over a year now.

Nah, D2 - but impressed with the self-fusing silicone tape - great for plumbing and electrical jobs (sealing around the ends of electrical conduit; electrician's tape is no good in harsher environments)! Gotta get me some more of that tape - dreaming up new innovative ways of using it!

Called Self- amalgamating tape in the trade, used for external weather proofing of ‘some’ electrical joints, and then an overlay of PVC electrical tape if necessary
