FUEL/WATER SEPARATOR –
DIESEL
®
Freightliner Chassis
Diesel fuel often contains small quantities of
water, which can damage the engine if not
filtered out. The Fuel/Water Separator traps this
water and prevents it from reaching the engine.
The harmful water deposits must be drained from
the separator canister during normal periodic
service and maintenance to keep the fuel
filtration system working effectively.
The Fuel/Water Separator is located beneath
the passenger rear side of chassis (at the forward
right side of the engine).
