Westerbeke W-13 User Manual

5. Replacement of oil filter
Being a replaceable cartridge
type, the oil filter requires
no cleaning inside.
In installing the oil filter,
apply engine oil thinly on to
the O-ring, and then tighten it
by hand firmly.
When removing the used filter,
cover over with a plastic bag.
This will allow both filter
element and spilled oil to be
collected cleanly without
spilling oil in the bilge.
Note A:
After market filters are not recommended since the
material standard or diameters of important items might
be entirely different from genuine parts.
Note B:
Immediately after filter change and oil fill, run engine
to ensure that oil pressure is normal and that there are
no oil leaks.
FUEL SYSTEM
1. Diesel fuel
USE #2 DIESEL FUEL. NEVER USE KEROSENE OR HEAVY OIL.
In cold weather, particularly, much water vapor is produced when
much
air is present in the fuel tank. The tank, therefore, should
be kept full as much as possible.
The fuel tank, furthermore, needs to be kept completely free of
dirt and water.
2. To this end, it is most
desirable that a primary fuel
filter of the water entrapment
type be installed between the
fuel tank and engine. Such a
filter is available under part
# 32974. (See your local
dealer.)
Water entrapment filter #32974
is shown opposite. Inspect
frequently for presence of
water in the clear bowl. Drain
it off by loosening the air
vent and opening the drain.
