Fuel Filter-Water Separator
Draining
The sump of the fuel filter-water separator should be drained
daily, 30 minutes after the engine is shut down, to remove
any water and sediment. Adhere to the following procedure.
1. Place a suitable container under the filter and open the
drain plug.
2. Drain until fuel appears.
3. Close the drain plug.
Filter Change Procedure
1. Turn off the engine. Loosen the vent cap to break the air
lock in the filter.
2. Open the drain valve and drain the fuel level below the
collar, then close the drain valve.
3. Using the collar/vent cap wrench (Grove part number
90023151), remove the clear cover from the fuel
processor by removing the collar. Discard the O-ring
from the base of the cover. (A new O-ring seal is
GROVE
supplied with the new filter.) Remove the filter element
from the filter body by pulling upward and twisting
slightly. Be sure the sealing grommet is removed from
the center stud.
4. Install the new filter element (supplied with a sealing
grommet already inserted into the element) on the
processor center stud by pushing down and twisting
slightly. After checking to make sure the new O-ring seal
(supplied with the filter) at the base of the cover is in
place, install the cover and collar. Hand tighten the collar
until seated. Do not use tools to tighten.
5. Remove the vent cap from the top of the clear cover by
turning the vent cap counterclockwise. Fill the clear
cover with enough clean fuel to cover the bottom half of
the filter element. Make sure the new O-ring (supplied
with the filter) is installed on the vent cap. Reinstall the
vent cap and tighten by hand only.
6. Start the engine. When the lubrication system reaches
its normal operating pressure, increase engine RPM for
one minute.
NOTE: The clear filter cover will not fill completely during
engine operation. It will gradually fill over time as
the filter becomes clogged. The filter element does
not need to be changed until the fuel level has risen
to the top of the filter element.
