Maintenance task. Fuel tank clean
The fuel impurities could obstruct the suction pump. For this reason, drain out the content of
the fuel tank to remove condensate and any foreign material. Then, wash the tank with fuel and refill
it.
Maintenance task. Water separator filter purge
The fuel system has to have a water separator filter (supplied as accessory) to
avoid the inlet of water in the fuel circuit. According to the maintenance plan it is
necessary to purge the filter to eliminate water periodically. This is the procedure:
