    This process is accomplished by instaIling and maintaining a proper fuel filter/water separator between the fuel tank and the generator/engine. Westerbeke recommends a 10 micron filter be used. FUEL INJECTION PUMP The fuel injection pump is the most impOitant component of the diesel engine, requiring the utmost caution in handling.

    COOLING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Wcstcrbeke marine diesel engines are designed and equipped fresh water coolant flows around the tubes; engine heat trans- for frcsh water cooling. Heat produced in the engine by com- fen"ed to the fresh water coolant is conducted through the tube walls to the raw watcr which is then pumped into the bustion and friction is transferred to fresh water coolant which circulates throughout the engine.
