Filter/Water Separator - Drain
Fuel leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or elec-
trical components can cause a fire. To help pre-
vent possible injury, turn the start switch off when
changing fuel filters or water separator elements.
Clean up fuel spills immediately.
The water separator is not a filter. The water separa-
tor separates water from the fuel. The engine should
never be allowed to run with the water separator more
than half full. Engine damage may result.
The fuel filter/water separator (if equipped) is not
usually supplied by Perkins. The following text
describes a typical fuel filter/water separator. Refer
to the OEM information for further information on the
fuel filter/water separator.

1. Open drain (5). Catch the draining water in a
suitable container. Dispose of the drained water
correctly.
2. Close drain (5).
The water separator is under suction during normal
engine operation. Ensure that the drain valve is tight-
ened securely to help prevent air from entering the fuel
system.
