Water In Fuel Indicator: Description and Operation

Chevette & 1000
The water in fuel system incorporates an electronic water detector mounted inside the fuel tank on the fuel gauge sender. The detector will warn the driver when 1---21-2 gallons of water are present in the fuel tank by illuminating the ``Water In Fuel'' indicator on the instrument panel. The lamp will also light for 2---5 seconds each time the ignition switch is turned ``On'' to ensure lamp is operable. If water is present in the fuel, the lamp will illuminate after a 3---6 second delay and remain on.
