Primary fuel filter
Volvo Penta fuel pre-filters are supplied in single and
double models.
Checks
The double filter is fitted with a pressure gauge (1) that
indicates when it is time to replace the filter cartridges.
The filter cartridges must be replaced according to
maintenance schedule recommendations, or earlier if
the pressure gauge shows a pressure drop of 6–10 (in.
Hg) at idle or 16–20 (in. Hg) at full rpm/engine load.
WARNING!
Working with, or going close to a running engine is a
safety risk. Watch out for rotating components and hot
sufaces.
Draining
Place a vessel under the filter. Empty the water and
sediment through the plugs (2).
