How to renew the fuel strainer and the canister of the fuel filter
The fuel filter assembly has a fuel strainer to remove larger particles from the fuel and a filter canister to remove
the smaller particles. The fuel strainer can be cleaned, but the fuel filter must be renewed.
1 Thoroughly clean the outside surfaces of the fuel filter assembly.
2 Use a strap wrench or similar tool to loosen the filter canister, and remove the canister.

3 Use a 29 mm (1
/
in ) socket spanner to remove the plastic cover (A5) from the fuel strainer. Remove the
8
strainer (A3) and the 'O' ring (A4) from the cover.
4 Fit a new strainer and a new 'O' ring to the cover and fit the cover to the filter head.
Caution: Ensure that the open end of the new strainer is toward the filter head.
5 Ensure that the threaded adaptor (A1) is secure in the filter head and that the inside of the head is clean.
Lubricate lightly the seal (A2) of the new canister with clean diesel fuel. Fit the new canister to the filter head
and tighten the canister by hand until the seal contacts the filter head. Tighten the canister a further
hand only. Do not use a strap wrench.
6 Eliminate the air from the fuel filter, see page 24.
Caution: It is important that only the genuine Perkins parts are used. The use of wrong parts could damage
the fuel injector units.
