Bleeding air from diesel (See illustration on previous page)
Each time the oil is changed, bleed off the water from the fuel filter as follows:
- unscrew water bleed screw (B) under filter,
- unscrew air bleed screw (C) above the filter.
Start up engine and let water and fuel emerge until no more water is present, then tighten water bleed
screw (B) beneath filter and air bleed screw (C) above filter.
Replacing cartridge fuel filter
Change diesel filter every 15,000 km. Proceed as follows to change:
- lubricate rubber cartridge seal,
- fill filter cartridge with diesel (in order to reduce self-bleeding period),
- tighten cartridge until it touches the mount,
- tighten cartridge by 6/8 turn (to obtain torque of 1.3 - 1.6 daNm).
This is achieved using numbered notches engraved on the cartridge. For example when the cartridge is
moved into contact with the mount, make a mark on the mount against one of the notches engraved on
the filter. Then tighten filter through 6 further notches after the reference notch.
