Water in diesel fuel - orange warning

[caulfiek]

Hi (this is cross  posted from HRVForum site)

I've had this warning light come on 2 weeks ago. I've taken car (2016 HRV diesel) to my local garage (not a dealership) and they "renewed the fuel filter" .

I've had one fairly long drive since then and no issues , however yesterday the warning came back on, and has stayed on now.

From what I've read the fuel pump needs draining of water and reset. I don't think my garage did this at all 😞 . (These a great link on a similar issue for Mitsubishi cars here Mitsubishi Triton L200 Water in Fuel Filter - DASH-LIGHTS.COM)

Anyhow can't get to a local Honda approved garage until next week, but I have a 60+ miles journey to make on Wed and Sat.

Do you think it will be ok to do that and get it sorted afterwards?

Many thanks, any advice appreciated (gotta travel tonight so hoping for best)

Sounds like you may have picked up some contaminated fuel and this is filling the canister with water content
I would get this attended to sooner than later but not sure if you can reach below the filter to drain it down yourself?
