The sedimenter separates the water con­

filter. If the sedimenter/fuel filter warning
lamp comes on, immediately drain water ac­
cording to the following procedure because
the accumulated water in the sedimenter is
above the specified level:
1. Place a container to receive the water
under the open end of the drain hose un­
der the fuel filter.
2. Turn the drain plug once or twice to
loosen it and operate the priming pump
up and down to drain the water from the
sedimenter.
3. When fuel starts to flow out after the wa­
ter has drained, firmly tighten the drain
plug.
CAUTION! Wipe up any fuel spill.
CAUTION! If the sedimenter/ fuel
warning lamp continues to light up,
after draining the water and while the
engine is running, ask the Toyota
dealer for an inspection.
