Fuel Filters - Perkins New 1000 Series Workshop Manual

New 1000 Series

Fuel filters

Cautions:
! It is important that only the genuine Perkins parts
are used. The use of a wrong canister or element
can damage the fuel injection pump.
! The pre-filter and main filter canisters must be
renewed at the same time.
! Do not allow dirt to enter the fuel system. Before a
connection is disconnected, clean thoroughly the
area around the connection. After a component
has been disconnected, fit a suitable cover to all
open connections.
There are three types of fuel filter element in use:
The separate element type (A2) where the filter
element is held between the filter head (A1) and the
bottom cover (A3). The filter can have two elements
(A).
The canister type where the filter element has an
internal thread at the top (B2) and is fastened to a
threaded adaptor in the filter head (B1).
A fuel filter with a quick release canister (C). The filter
can have two canisters. Some engines are fitted with
a pre-filter (C2) of the same type. This filter is fitted
next to the main filter (C1), but connected in the fuel
system before the fuel lift pump. It is important to
ensure that the main and pre-filters are fitted in the
correct positions.
