Just changed fuel filter which I got from fords, and the yellow sensor was blank on the new one so I changed it with the old one. Started van and seems ok. But should the filter gauge go fully into the green now or do you have to reset that

You push the rubber end button on the indicator to reset it.

Thanks I did that and it reset. Only thing is I had to use the old yellow sensor at the button of the filter because the new one never had the sensor to connect to. I never realised till I fitted the new one and tried to connect it

That's just the "water in fuel" sensor...does it have the wire connected to it..??
