Operation 11-3 To Renew - Quick Release Canister Type - Perkins New 1000 Series Workshop Manual

New 1000 Series
To renew - quick release canister type
Warning! Discard the used canister and fuel oil in a safe place and in accordance with local regulations.
Cautions:
l It is important that only the genuine Perkins parts are used. The use of a wrong canister or element can
damage the fuel injection pump.
l Do not allow dirt to enter the fuel system. Before a connection is disconnected, clean thoroughly the area
around the connection. After a component has been disconnected, fit a suitable cover to all open
connections.
1 Thoroughly clean the outside surfaces of the filter assembly.
2 Loosen the drain device (A4), if one is fitted, at the bottom of the canister and allow the water/fuel to drain
into a suitable container.
Note: If the filter does not have a drain device fitted release the cap (A1) on top of the filter head. Remove the
nylon insert to lower the level of the fuel in the filter canister. This will prevent fuel spill when the clamp ring is
released.
3 Unscrew the sediment bowl at the bottom of the canister, if one is fitted.
4 Support the filter canister and rotate the clamp ring (A2) to the left, see the direction arrow, and remove the
clamp ring.
5 Remove the canister from the filter head by a direct pull downwards, and discard the old canister (A3). Retain
the clamp ring.
6 Ensure the filter head is clean and that the seals (A5) and (A6) are in good condition or renew them. Align
the spline (A8) with the groove in the filter head and push the new canister fully into the filter head.
7 Support the canister, fit the clamp ring (A7) and rotate it to the right, see the direction arrow, to fasten the
canister to the filter head.
8 If a sediment bowl is fitted, remove the bowl and thoroughly clean the cover of the bowl.
9 Check the two 'O' ring seals of the sediment bowl for damage and renew if necessary.
10 Clean the threads of the sediment bowl and fit the bowl to the canister and tighten by hand only.
11 If it was removed, fit the nylon insert used to lower the level of the fuel in the filter canister and fasten the
cap.
12 Eliminate the air from the fuel filter, see Operation 11-20.
