Fuel filter

• Engine running problems may stem from various causes, including dirty fuel. The injection
pump may wear out if there is water in the system. The water results either from
condensation resulting from an insufficiently filled tank, or from a filler cap which has either
not been closed properly or which has 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. Please refer to
the engine manufacturer's notes for any maintenance and for the frequency of filter
changes.
• The second filter is on the pipe that links the tank to the engine; it works as a water decanter
and prefilter.
Maintenance
• Purge the impurities by unscrewing the screw located at the base of the decanting bowl
(without removing it). Let the liquid run into a receptacle until the fuel runs clear. Do this
several times a year.
• Change the pre-filter at least once a year.
