On a recent holiday in our 2005 Ducato Motorhome we noticed diesel leaking from the engine bay area.To cut a long story short it turned out to be the bottom of the fuel filter.A plastic thread thing had broken allowing diesel to leak out.As we were in Germany the replacement filter was fitted by a Ford garage!!(I don't know why either) However,the replacement filter does not have this plastic thread thing at the bottom which also contains some electrical parts.My question is,is this the water in fuel detection device? Has this been modified as not required by Fiat does anyone know?? I am aware of the expensive danger of water in fuel to a JTD injection system,should I now be worried?
