Refer to the OEM information for further
Information on the fuel filter/water separator.
Turn the fuel supply valve (if equipped) to the
OFF position before performing this maintenance.

Note: If the fuel filter element is not equipped with a drain, remove cap. Remove the nylon insert in
order to reduce the lever of fuel in the fuel filter element. A reduction in the level of fuel in
the fuel filter element will help prevent fuel from being spilled when the element is removed.
Notice: Do not use a tool in order to remove the fuel filter. Attempting to remove the fuel filter with a
filter wrench or a filter strap could damage the locking ring.

Note: If the element is equipped with a sediment bowl, remove the sediment bowl from the element.
Thoroughly clean the sediment bowl. Inspect the O-ring seals. Install new O-ring seals, if
necessary. Install the sediment bowl to the new element. Hand tighten the sediment bowl.
Hand tightening is the only method that should be used.
Notice: Do not fill fuel filters with fuel before installing them. Contaminated fuel will cause
accelerated wear to fuel system parts.
4. Ensure that the fuel filter base is clean. Push a new fuel filter full
into the fuel filler base.
