Fuel System Primary Filter (Water Separator) Element - Replace
After the engine has stopped, you must wait for 10
minutes to allow the fuel pressure to be purged from
the high-pressure fuel lines before any service or
repair is performed on the engine fuel lines. The 10
minute wait will also allow static charge to dissipate
from the low-pressure fuel system. If necessary,
perform minor adjustments. Repair any leaks from
the low-pressure fuel system and from the cooling,
lubrication, or air systems. Replace any high-
pressure fuel line that has leaked. Refer to
Disassembly and Assembly Manual, "Fuel Injection
Lines - Install".
If you inspect the engine in operation, always use the
proper inspection procedure to avoid a fluid
penetration hazard. Refer to Operation and
Maintenance Manual, "General hazard Information".
If the engine will not start, refer to Troubleshooting,
"Engine Cranks but will not Start".
