MAINTENANCE
Figure 29 Minor Rib Cracking
Auto Tensioner – Auto tensioners
are usually maintenance free for the
life of the engine. However, routine
inspections should be performed.
Uneven belt wear can indicate a loose,
wore out, or bad bearing on the auto
tensioner. A build up of dirt or grime
around the front bearing surface of the
wheel can indicate a future bearing
failure due to inadequate lubrication.
Item 5 – Fuel / Water Separator
Incorporated into the fuel filter
module is a fuel/water separator. The
separator removes emulsified water as
well as droplets and is located in the
lower compartment of the fuel filter
module. An optional water in fuel
sensor will indicate when the trapped
water needs to be drained. If the water
in fuel sensor is not available, periodic
draining of the trapped water should
be performed.
