Fuel enters the filter at inlet (A) and flows through the filter element separating water its contents before flowing through outlets (B) to the fuel injection pump. Since water and contaminants settle at the bottom of the sediment bowl, a drain plug (i.e. Adaptor cum Water Sensor) is provided. Drain water from the fuel filter when water level indicator in instrument cluster glows on. To drain water from fuel filter, unscrew the water sensor in anticlockwise direction by hand. Rotate only 1 to 2 turns by hand. Place a small tray to collect water or water and diesel emulsion. Tighten water sensor by rotating clockwise. Tightening torque 17.7 to 26.6 lbf in. (2 to 3 Nm) or hand tighten and fix connector (C). Servicing the Fuel Filter
NOTE : Drain water once in a week or whenever the water level indicator on dashboard glows "ON" continuously, if water contamination is excessive. Continued driving with water accumulation in fuel filter will cause damage to the fuel pump / other fuel system components. NOTE : Replace fuel filter at the recommended period or whenever it gets clogged. Discard the old filter and do not repair or clean the filter. Always fit the spin-on filter dry.
1. It is recommended to replace the fuel filter every 250 hrs. 2. To remove Filter, unscrew the filter (D) from adaptor (E). 3. Check O'rings of fuel filter for any crack/damage. Smear oil on the new O'ring before installation. 4. Assemble the new filter. Do not over tighten. 5. Clean Water Sensor to remove sludge & retighten to filter. 6. Prime the system and bleed the filter. Tighten the bleeding screw.
