Fuel Filter: Description and Operation
Fuel and Water Separator and Filter - Operation
OPERATION
The fuel filter/water separator protects the fuel injection pump by removing water and contaminants from the fuel. The construction of the filter/separator
allows fuel to pass through it, but helps prevent moisture (water) from doing so. Moisture collects at the bottom of the filter.
Refer to the maintenance schedules in the owners manual for the recommended fuel filter replacement intervals.
For draining of water from canister, refer to Fuel Filter/Water Separator Removal/Installation See: Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement.
A Water-In-Fuel (WIF) sensor is attached to the bottom of fuel filter element. Refer to Water-In-Fuel Sensor Description/Operation.
The fuel heater is installed into the side of the filter/separator housing. Refer to Fuel Heater Description/Operation.
