Fuel filter, replacement.

3.0 models

Engine 3.0 has a ceramic fuel filter (A) located in the
fuel pump.

WARNING! Accumulation of water and other fuel
contaminations may form corrosive compounds
that can damage the fuel filter bowl, and result in
fuel leakage. Annually clean and inspect the fuel
filter bowl. If there are any signs of deterioation,
replacement is required to avoid risk of explosion
or fire.

●

Loosen yoke screw and remove filter bowl, spring
and ceramic filter (A). Remove bowl gasket (B) and
discard.

●

Wash bowl and ceramoc filter thoroughly with clean
solvent and blow dry.

●

Fuel filter. Replacement

4.3, 5.0 and 5.7 models

All models have a fuel filter (C) in the fuel line before
the fuel pump.

IMPORTANT! Volvo Penta EFI engines require a
special marine filter with a 5-10 micron filtering
capability. Do not substitute any other type of fil-
ter.

WARNING! Accumulation of water and other fuel
contaminants may form corrosive compounds
that can damage the fuel filter, and result in fuel
leakage. For this reason, annual replacement of
the fuel filter is required to avoid risk of explosion
or fire.

●

Unscrew fuel filter; remove and discard.

WARNING! Old filter contains flammable fuel.
Dispose of safely.
