Good To Know

Q: Why is a water sensor important in a diesel fuel filter for Duramax 6.6L? A: The water sensor detects water separated from the fuel, which can cause significant damage to fuel injectors. Its presence alerts the driver to drain the separator, protecting the engine from costly repairs.
