FPT CURSOR 87TE4 - Changing the fuel pre-filter

23
ENGLISH
NOTE: The injection systems in the various engines do not require
bleeding to remove residual air.
Should it be necessary to accelerate the bleeding phase, with the
exception of the C87 ENT engine, loosen the manifold on the cylinder
head (1) during the initial phases of start-up.
Ensure that any fuel coming out of the manifold does not dirty the
auxiliary member drive belt and is not dispersed into the environment.
Changing the fuel pre-filter
Only proceed with the engine stopped.
 Should the filter be fitted with a
sensor to detect the presence of
water (3), remove the whole
sensor from its seat.
 Remove the pre-filter by
unscrewing it.
 Check that the new filter has
performance levels that satisfy the
needs of the engine (e.g. by
comparing them with the old one).
 Damp the new filter seal with
diesel or engine oil.
 Hand screw the new filter into
place until the seal gasket touches
the support, then lock by a further
3/4 of a turn.
 Place the water presence sensor in
its seat, taking care to couple the
threads correctly.
 Loosen the bleeder screw (2) on
the pre-filter support and activate the hand pump (1) until the
supply circuit is full. Ensure that any fuel coming out is not dispersed
into the environment.
 Lock the bleeder screw tightly.
 Start the engine and run it at minimum speed for a few minutes to
eliminate any residual air.
CAUTION!
Never loosen the high pressure common rail injection circuit
connectors in the C87 ENT engine in any way.
