Fuel System-Replacing Water Separator Filter
Open the engine hatch completely to provide ac-
cessibility and to ventilate the engine compart-
ment. Remove keys from ignition and follow label
below.
To change the engine mounted water separator fil-
ter the following items are needed; new fuel filter,
wrench to remove and install filter, clean engine oil,
along with container/clean rags.
Install a container under the fuel filter and position
in place using clean rags. Wrap the filter wrench
around the fuel filter and turn counterclockwise
to break the filter loose. Turn until filter is free and
carefully dump the filter contents into the container
outside of the engine compartment.
Examine fuel for small droplets in the bottom of the
container which normally end up to be water.
Also, check for dark foreign particles in the fuel
which could originate from where the fuel was pur-
chased. Always obtain your fuel from a facility that
sells large amounts of fuel as chances of problems
existing from older fuel batches is lowered.
Lubricate the gasket or O ring on the new fuel filter.
Screw the new filter on to the pump assembly.
Hand tighten. Do not overtighten with a wrench.
Clean up any spilled fuel. Discard container and
rags in an environmentally friendly fashion.
It is recommended to run the blower for at
least 4 minutes to vent engine space and be-
low cruising speeds. Start the engine and check
for leaks especially around the filter area. Read
and understand the label below.
