1. Place a catch pan under the fuel coalescer to collect any water/fuel or
sediment drained from the fuel coalescer.
2. Open the water drain valve (3) located under the fuel filter module (see
above graphic). Collect and dispose of water/fuel or sediment drained from
the fuel coalescer in an environmentally responsible manner, according to
state and/or federal recommendations.
3. Allow the water/fuel or sediment to drain.
4. Close the water drain valve (3) (see above graphic). Do not over-tighten the
water drain valve. Failure to properly tighten the water drain valve may
cause damage to the water drain valve and housing.
5. Prime the fuel system with the built-in hand primer (about 50 strokes). The
hand primer should not be used to prime any other type of fuel system
service, as it will not provide sufficient priming, which may cause damage
to the high pressure fuel pump.
