Fuel Filter - Mitsubishi 6M60-TL Service Manual

STRUCTURE AND OPERATION

2. Fuel Filter

• The fuel filter removes foreign matter from fuel via the filter element. The fuel filter also incorporates a water sep-
arator which separates any water from fuel.
• Water separated from fuel accumulates at the bottom of the fuel filter assembly. When water has accumulated to
a certain level, this is detected by the water separator sensor, provided on the fuel filter assembly, which then illu-
minates a warning lamp on the meter cluster.
• The water which has collected in the water separator can be drained through the drain hole by loosening the wa-
ter separator sensor.
• To bleed air from the fuel system, a manually operated pump is provided on the fuel filter head.
