and next to the fuel sedimenter. Change the filter at specified intervals of 10,000
km or 12 months, whichever comes first or more frequently if the quality of diesel
fuel requires as such. Poor fuel economy and sluggish engine performance may
indicate the fuel filter requires replacement. Use the following procedure to

minutes for the fuel pressure to stabilse.
2. Place a suitable container under the fuel filter.
3. Remove the drain plug from the bottom of filter and allow the fuel to
completely drain.
