6.3  Strainer/Filter – DEF Dispensers 
DEF dispensers have an optional filter.  This filter has a replaceable internal element (similar 
to a whole house water filter).  The filter is removed by unscrewing the collar at the top of the 
filter housing using the filter tool supplied with the dispenser.  Unscrew the collar in the CCW 
direction (when viewed from under the filter can).  Allow the collar to drop down the filter 
canister.  Remove the filter can to expose the filter element.  Remove the filter element from 
the canister.  Replace it with a new filter.  Slide the canister and filter back into place on the 
inlet casting.  Slide the collar back up the canister and screw back on in a CW direction. 
6.4  Cleaning and Corrosion Prevention Instructions 
To properly care for your dispenser: 
Step 1  Wash the dispenser frequently with a non-abrasive cloth and warm water mixed 
with a mild household cleaner such as dishwashing liquid. The dispenser should 
then be wiped down with a clean damp cloth.  
NOTE:  Do not direct pressurized water, even a garden hose, at the dispenser.  
NOTE:  Do not use all-purpose cleaners on any part of the dispenser. They may 
scratch clear plastic, as well as break down the corrosion resistance of 
painted and stainless steel surfaces. 
NOTE:  Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-based products to clean the 
dispenser. 
Step 2  Exposure to contaminants can cause discoloration of any stainless steel panels. If 
the discoloration persists after Step 1, the use of an abrasive powder cleaner can 
be used to restore the original shine. Two cleaners in particular are very effective 
and practical to use: Zud Heavy Duty Cleaner and Bar Keepers Friend. They can 
both be found in most hardware or grocery stores. Follow the manufacturers’ 
instructions for use and always rub in the direction of the brush finish to prevent 
scratching the stainless steel. 
Step 3  Periodic waxing (three times per year) of the dispenser surfaces is essential to 
maintain the original finish and inhibit corrosion. Painted surfaces should be waxed 
with an automotive wax or polish. Stainless steel surfaces should be polished with 
a non-abrasive silicone wax.  
6.5  Meter Maintenance Issue 
  For Weights & Measures applications, it is recommended that fuel meters powered by 
DFS be periodically checked for acceptable accuracy based on NCWM Handbook 44 
under the General Code, G-UR.4 Maintenance Requirements and Liquid Measuring 
Device Code, Section 3.30. 
  If adjustment needs to be made, follow the appropriate prescribed procedure in either 
Section 4.7, Meter Check (Calibration) – Enhanced Capacity & Super-High Capacity shall 
be made in accordance with G_UR.4 Maintenance Requirements of Handbook 44.
