Smile Engine issues additional info

The fuel tank filter is located in the left rear fender just in behind the filler door area, crawl under and look up you will see it. 3" x 2.5" black in color and has a pig tail vent in one end, remove it from the mount take the pig tail vent off and cut the mushroom end off about 3" from the end and use it on the new reroute vinyl hose under the hood that you may want to install, if not just do routine maintenance on this filter, mount it vertical like you found it under the fender in it original design. The filter you get at Dodge, $10.00 to $20.00, it's for the fuel tank not a fuel filter, it filters the air going into the tank to replace the fuels space as your vehicle uses the gas.
As for gravel I think I referred to gravel travel, in other words its the DUST from travelling gravel dusty roads that plugs the said filter.
I hope I have made it clear, if not repost I will try again..
Thanks

Oh by the way I cleared my engine light by unhooking the battery for 20-30 minutes while having coffee so the code may still be in there but light is off..

I think I would be more worried of why the "(reservoir was empty)"

That is simple, after 26 months of use and never adding once its ok to add a litre of juice, but I appreciate your concern, my question was is there a relationship from a low reservoir to the engine light, ie: low windshield fluid has its own low level indicator, which would be more important?
