Typical example
1.
Ensure that the fuel supply valve is in the OFF
position.
2.
Clean the outside of the secondary and tertiary fuel
filters.
3.
Use a suitable strap wrench to remove the tertiary
fuel filter (3) and discard the old tertiary fuel filter.
4.
Lubricate the O ring seal (2) on the new tertiary
fuel filter with clean engine oil. Ensure that the
sealing surface (1) is clean and free from dirt.
5.
Installed the new fuel filter by hand only. When the
O ring seal (2) contacts the sealing surface (1),
rotate the tertiary fuel filter 1 full turn.
6.
Repeat Step 3 through Step 5 for the secondary
filter (4).
7.
Remove the container and dispose of the fuel in
accordance with local regulations.
8.
Restore the fuel supply to the engine.
9.
Prime the fuel system. Refer to the Operation and
Maintenance Manual, “Fuel System - Prime” for
more information.
10.

NOTICE
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are con-
tained during performance of inspection, mainte-
nance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product.
Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable contain-
ers before opening any compartment or disassem-
bling any component containing fluids.
Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations
and mandates.
Fuel Tank
Fuel quality is critical to the performance and to the
service life of the engine. Water in the fuel can cause
excessive wear to the fuel system.
Water can be introduced into the fuel tank when the
fuel tank is being filled.
Condensation occurs during the heating and cooling
of fuel. The condensation occurs as the fuel passes
through the fuel system and the fuel returns to the
fuel tank. This causes water to accumulate in fuel
tanks. Draining the fuel tank regularly and obtaining
fuel from reliable sources can help to eliminate water
in the fuel.
Drain the Water and the Sediment
Fuel tanks should contain some provision for draining
water and draining sediment from the bottom of the
fuel tanks.
Open the drain valve on the bottom of the fuel tank in
order to drain the water and the sediment. Close the
drain valve.
Check the fuel daily. Allow five minutes after the fuel
tank has been filled before draining water and
sediment from the fuel tank.
Fill the fuel tank after operating the engine in order to
drive out moist air. This will help prevent
condensation. Do not fill the tank to the top. The fuel
expands as the fuel gets warm. The tank may
overflow.
