Fuel Filter
The life of the filter depends on the amount of impurities
it is required to remove from the fuel. Therefore, clean fuel
will not only increase the life of the filter element, but also
make it more efficient.
Plugs (B) are provided to remove dirt and water. Drain
water in fuel at these points once every 50 hrs. of
operation.
Both paper type filter elements at the primary stage and at
the secondary stage are fitted in twin bowls of the fuel
filtration system as original equipment. The arrow on the
filter cover indicates the direction of fuel flow.
Filter elements should not be cleaned but only replaced as
recommended below :
Primary stage paper insert - Every 250 hrs. or earlier
if required.
Secondary stage paper insert - Every 500 hrs. or earlier
if required.
If impaired, engine operation indicates the filter has
become clogged, replace the filter elements immediately.
This condition will be indicated by loss of power and engine
mis-firing at full load. Avoid replacing both the elements
simultaneously.
Servicing the fuel filter
Filter elements should not be cleaned but only replaced.
Primary stage paper insert should be performed every
250 hours and the secondary stage paper insert should be
performed every 500 hours.
To service the primary fuel filter, use a clean cloth and clean
the filter assemblies externally. Close the fuel tank cock.
Loosen the center bolt (A) on the primary filter and remove
the filter bowl. Remove the filter insert from the bowl and
discard it. Clean the filter bowl and assemble the filter using
new filter element. Tighten the centre bolt to a torque of
2 kg.m.
Bleed the secondary stage fuel filter similarly.
