When you drain the water seperator where does the fuel/water come out? I know where the lever is but the manual doesnt tell you where to locate the catch can?

Thanks

 

On my 2003 it is right there below the lever. I have a piece of hose I shove on the end so it does not make a mess all over.

 

That's odd, must be another "cost cutting" measure by mother Daimler.

Previous years it came with a length of hose that terminated right above the front differential (if so equipped, don't know where it ended on the 2 wheel drive flavors)

I think mine has a hose on it; but it still drips on the ground whenever that little lever is moved....

 

There is a hose there. I had only read the manual and it had no mention of where to put the catch can. Thanks,

 

On the ground of the fueling station where I'm currently re-fueling.

Are you telling me I got hosed?

 

The price they are charging me for fuel, they get to clean up some stains........

 

very true



question, how long should i let it drain?

 

I open mine for just 5 seconds or so on most every fillup.Catch can?Whats that? Most of the places selling diesel the fill up areas are already nasty.If in a big hurry or? I do forget once in a while.Third diesel been doing same routine for more then a decade.
