    Isuzu D-Max: Checking the fuel tank breather pipe

    Isuzu Isuzu Advice Isuzu D-Max Isuzu D-Max Advice Isuzu D-Max 2013
    With regard to Kristen Taylor's experience with water in her Isuzu D-Max's fuel, it's worth her checking the position of the fuel tank breather pipe inside the rear wheel arch. It is poorly placed and every time it rains water is virtually forced up the pipe just from the spray coming off the tyres. The same goes for its stable-mate, the Colorado. Whenever the warning light comes on, you should stop immediately and drain the water out. Read the owner's manual if you don't know how to do it. So much for being built for Australian conditions, someone probably didn't do their homework when converting the original design from left-hand drive.

    Good advice. With more people getting into diesels these days they should spend some time reading the owner's manual to understand the differences between a diesel and the petrol-powered cars they used to drive.
