3. The vanes in the head of the pump will wear over time and require replacement. To extend the life of
the vanes, ensure that the filters are kept clean and the tank free on contaminants. If a reduced flow
rate is noticeable, or a squealing sound is heard, the pump will require immediate attention to prevent
permanent damage to the pump.
NOTE! The pump’s strainer procedure is only applicable to the 60 litre per
minute pump, optionally fitted to DieselCaptain units 400 litres and above.
4. Periodically inspect the pump’s integrated strainer as a clogged strainer will reduce fuel flow and affect
the life of the pump:
a. Unscrew the plug-in head of the pump and remove the gauze mesh strainer.
b. Clean and check it thoroughly before replacing it. If damaged in any way, discard it and replace it
with a new strainer.
5. If the pump is squealing, clean the impeller and vanes as follows:
a. Remove the end cover by undoing the three socket head screws and lifting off cover.
b. Clean the impellor and vanes, taking care to remove any particles caught between the ends of the
vanes and the housing.
c. Refit the cover, ensuring the screws are not overtightened.
