Fuel Filter/Water Separator
Aqua-Hot Fuel Filter:
The filter is located on the curbside of motorhome behind the fuel access door.
Draining the Collection Bowl:
Water is heavier than fuel and will settle to the bottom of a fuel bowl, making it appear different in
color. In high humidity environment, check the collection bowl more often. With the engine and the
Aqua-Hot off, open the drain to evacuate any contaminant, then close it.
Element Replacement:
Contamination levels in the fuel determine the frequency of
element replacement. Fuel flow to the Aqua-Hot becomes restricted
as the element gradually plugs up with contaminates, resulting in
noticeable heating loss and/or hard starting. If this occurs, change
the element as soon as possible.
As a guideline, change the element every 500 hours, annually or at
first indication of heat loss, whichever occurs first. Always carry
an extra replacement element as one tank of contaminated fuel can
plug a fuel filter. Replacement filters must have a 10-micron rating.
Racor filter - Aqua-Hot R2TRA000T ten micron.
To Replace the Element:
• Open the drain valve to drain the filter unit.
• Spin bowl/element from head and remove element.
• Coat new seals with motor oil and install the new element.
• Prime bowl/element with clean fuel.
• Spin bowl/element onto head and tighten firmly by hand.
• Start Aqua-Hot and check fuel filter for leaks.
NOTE:
After replacing filter, it ma take several cycles to purge air from system when attempt-
ing to start the Aqua-Hot.
