TD5 Fuel Filter Water Sensor problem

[djw67]

Hi To All,
Just wanted to share a little bit of information re the water sensor located at the bottom of the fuel filter. After just changing the fuel filter I started her up and found the water light was on all the time. Did a little investigating and found the fault was due to the sensor tip touching a metal section located inside the filter. This appears to only effect the Bearmach ESR4686R (Also labelled ESR4686 <C>) filters and is due to the internal construction of the filter. The original and Britpart filters are not a problem.
