Fuel pre-filter replacement
Only proceed with the engine stopped.
Should the filter be fitted with a sensor to detect the presence of
water (3), remove the whole sensor from its seat.
Remove the pre-filter by unscrewing it.
Check that the new filter has performance levels that satisfy the
needs of the engine (e.g. by comparing them with the old one).
Damp the new filter seal with diesel or engine oil.
Hand screw the new filter into place until the seal gasket touches
the support, then tighten it to a torque of 20 ± 3 Nm.
Place the water presence sensor in its seat, taking care to couple
the threads correctly.
Given the high operating temperature of the engine,
suitable protective gloves should be worn.
The engine oil reaches very high temperatures: always
wear protective gloves.
The engine oil is highly pollutant and noxious.
In case of contact with skin, wash thoroughly with water
and detergent.
Suitably protect skin and eyes; proceed in accordance
with accident prevention standards.

Only use recommended oils or oils with the properties
required for proper engine operation.
If topping up, do not mix oils with different properties.
Failure to observe these standards will invalidate the
servicing warranties.
Eliminate the consumables and any materials in
contact with them (for example, filters) in accordance
with current regulations.
The FPT Technical Service Network workshops are
equipped for this purpose.
