Checking Fuel System Water Separator Filter
Inside the lazarette center cockpit
storage area a 10 micron in-line
water separator lter is installed
Use an oil spanner type wrench and
turn the lter counterclockwise to
remove the element. Using a clean
pan empty the filter contents
.Water in fuel tends to hug the
bottom and will show a di erent
color than the fuel. At least yearly
or on an as needed basis replace
the lter element. Fill the element
up with fresh unleaded fuel of the
correct octane rating and turn
it clockwise until tight. Finish
tightening with the spanner wrench. As always check for leaks before
starting the engine.
It is a great idea to keep extra lter elements on board in protective
wrap for emergency use.
