ABSTRACT:
A fuel supply system including a fuel supply line extending from a fuel tank to a fuel supplier for delivery of fuel to an internal combustion engine. A water separator is positioned in the fuel supply line, the water separator having a chamber in which fuel and water are separated into a low phase comprising water and an upper phase comprising fuel. The water separator chamber has a first sensor for sensing a low level of water and a second sensor for sensing a high level of water. A control circuit is responsive to the first sensor for providing a warning indication urging a driver to drain the water in the water separator chamber when the water level in the water separator chamber increases to the low level. The control circuit is responsive to the second sensor for interrupting communication between the water separator and the fuel supplier when the water level in the water separator chamber increases to the high level.
