Fuel Filter/Water Separators (Diesel Engines Only) (If Equipped)
•
Each fuel feed line features a fuel filter/water separator.
•
Service instructions for the fuel filter/water separators
are provided on the filters.
Anti-siphon Valves (Gas Engines Only)
•
The anti-siphon valves are vital fuel system parts.
•
If a fuel line ruptures, this valve will prevent the fuel from siphoning from the tank.
•
The valves are located on the fuel tank, where the fuel feed lines attach to the tank.
•
These valves are spring loaded and are opened by fuel pump vacuum.
•
The frequency of water draining or element replacement is determined by the contamina-
tion level in the fuel.
•
Inspect the collection bowls for water daily.
•
Replace the elements at least once a year, or when a loss of power is noticed, whichever
comes first.
