What to do if the illuminated pushbutton 'Replace filter element' is lit in my MTU Engine?

If the illuminated pushbutton 'Replace filter element' is lit, it means the maximum permissible differential pressure of 1.5 bar was exceeded. If you don't replace the coalescer filter element, the pressure will continue to increase, and the safety valve will open, leading fuel directly into the overflow tank. Replace the coalescer filter element and then press the illuminated pushbutton 'Replace filter element' to acknowledge.
