5.4 Fuel Filters (Water Separators)
The fuel supplied to the engine (and optional genera-
tor) may contain impurities found in the fuel tank or from
the fuel itself. If these impurities are not removed prior
to starting the engines, performance may be seriously
affected. Removal of the fuel impurities is accomplished
by external fuel filters.
5.4.1 Engine Filter
The engine has a separate filter located apart from the
engine (the engine assembly has a secondary fuel filter)
and is mounted on the aft cabin bunk divider. It can be
accessed through the bunk's port drop-in (Fig. 5.5).
An authorized service technician should replace the filter
annually prior to spring launch. More frequent replace
-
ments may be required if engine/generator performance
is degraded due to contaminated fuel.
NOTE: Please refer to the fuel filter manufacturer's OEM
manual for further details regarding operation, care and main-
tenance.
5.4.2 Generator Filter
The optional generator also has a separate fuel filter (Fig.
5.6) apart from the generator unit (the generator assem
-
bly also has a secondary fuel filter). It is located near the
engine fuel filter and is mounted on the aft cabin bunk
divider and accessed through the bunk's port drop-in.
