Hymer Fiat Ducato 1994 Fuel Filter Sensor. I've started up my Hymer this morning only to find Diesel pouring out from underneath. After looking in the engine compartment I see fuel jetting out of the bottom of the fuel filter. It seems there is a sensor at the bottom of the filter (assuming its a water sensor) ad thats where the fuel is coming
At this stage you can if you wish open the bleed screw and drain the diesel but without getting a long piece of pipe and something to catch it in my option was to not drain it. The amount of fuel that will come out of the pipe connection isn't huge so I caught it with an old tea towel initially then drained it fully when off the vehicle.

If the injector is threaded in, then as bugsymike says, it will need unscrewing, requiring a special deep socket. The pipes will have to be off for that. If the injector is just clamped in, there will be a clamp at the head, and once removed, the slide hammer tool will be needed to get them out.

The injectors used in Fiat 2.3-litre engines (Euro 3, 4 and 5) are the same units. The fuel pressure in the injectors has increased from 800 to 1600 and now 1800-plus bar.
