  • Page 136: Fuel Filter

    13.6 FUEL FILTER Engine running problems may have different origins, including dirty fuel. The injection pump may wear out if there is water in the system. The water results either from the condensation resulting from an insufficiently filled tank, or from a filler cap either not closed properly or with a damaged seal. In order to prevent any water infiltration, the fuel runs through two filters: - One filter is an integral part of the engine, its role is to filter fuel very finely.
