Replace Fuel/Water Separator
If an optional primary filter/water separa-
tor is installed, replace the element as
follows:
1. Drain off some fuel by opening the
drain valve.
2. Using a strap wrench, remove the
element and bowl together, then
remove the bowl from the element.
The filter and bowl have standard
right-hand threads, so turn counter-
clockwise to remove.
3. Clean the bowl and the O-ring seal.
4. Apply a light coating of clean fuel or
grease to the O-ring seal, spin the
bowl onto the new filter, and tighten
by hand.
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the bowl or the fil-
ter, do not use tools when tightening.
5. Apply a light coating of clean fuel or
grease to the new O-ring seal on the
top of the filter. Spin the filter and
bowl assembly onto the filter head,
and tighten by hand until snug.
6. To eliminate air from the filter, operate
the primer pump on the filter head (if
equipped) until the fuel purges at the
filter assembly.
7. Start the engine and check for leaks.
Correct any leaks with the engine off.
