FUEL/WATER SEPARATOR –
DIESEL
Freightliner
®
Chassis
Diesel fuel often contains small quantities of
water, which can damage the engine if not
filtered out. The Fuel/Water Separator traps this
water and prevents it from reaching the engine.
The harmful water deposits must be drained from
the separator canister during normal periodic
service and maintenance to keep the fuel
filtration system working effectively.
The Fuel/Water Separator is located behind
the rear engine access door.
Place an appropriate container beneath the
bottom of the Fuel/Water Separator Filter and
open the water release drain valve several turns.
Drain any water deposits from the canister until
clean diesel fuel flows from the valve. Close
valve by hand. Do not over tighten.
Dispose of the drained liquid in an
environmentally responsible manner, such as
taking to a waste oil disposal center.
DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID FILL
The Diesel Exhaust Fluid Fill is located in the
passenger side compartment behind the rear
wheel.
