This job can be done in the field but in
a clean place.
1. Close the fuel cock.
2. Unscrew the ring and remove the fil-
ter bowl. Rinse the inside with fresh
diesel fuel or kerosene.
3. Take the filter element out and dip it
in the diesel / the kerosene to clean.
4. After cleaning you should reas-
semble the filter element, making
sure that it is free from dust and dirt.
Assure that all o-rings are in place.
5. Bleed the fuel system. (See "Bleed-
ing the fuel System" in the service
section)
If dust and dirt enters the fuel
system, the fuel pump and in-
jection nozzles are subject to
premature wear. To prevent this,
be sure to clean the fuel filter
bowl and element periodically.
