SERVICE MANUAL NUMBER 22

Fuel Filter

PRECAUTIONS
Be careful when draining, filling or replacing water separating fuel filter; diesel fuel
is flammable. Ensure that the ignition key is OFF. Do NOT smoke or allow sources
of open flame in the area while changing fuel system components. Wipe up any
spilled fuel immediately. Do NOT allow fuel to come into contact with any hot sur-
face which may cause it to ignite.
Dispose of fuel-soaked rags, paper, etc., in an appropriate air tight, fire retardant
container. Fuel-soaked items may spontaneously ignite and result in a fire hazard
which could cause serious bodily injury or death.
Make sure no fuel leaks exist before closing engine hatch.
Absolute cleanliness is required for work on the fuel injection system, since the
injection pump and fuel injectors have very close tolerances. Even minute particles
of dirt or small amounts of water can impair the function of the fuel injection system.
