contact surface of the housing. Then turn
the filter a further ½ turn. Vent the fuel
system (see page 23) and check for
leakage.
Extra fuel filter
If an extra fuel filter with water separator is
fitted, check the transparent bowl to see if
there is any water in the fuel. If neces-
sary, drain the filter via the cock in the
bottom of the bowl. Try to avoid spilling
fuel. Pump up the fuel and vent the
system. The fuel filter element should be
changed at least once a season.
Fuel Strainer
The fuel pump on the engine has a built-in
strainer, which can be removed by remov-
ing the pump’s cover. The strainer must
be cleaned at least once per season.
Always vent the fuel system. See “Ven-
ting of Fuel System” (page 23).
Check
i
mmediately after starting that there is
no fuel leakage.
Injectors
All work on the engine injectors shall be carried out by an authorized Volvo Penta Service
Workshop. Each third season the injectors should be handed over a diesel workshop for
cleaning and checking the opening pressure, leakage and spray pattern.
