Draining the Collection Bowl:
Water is heavier than fuel and will settle to the bottom of a fuel bowl
which will make it appear different in color. In high humidity environments
check the collection bowl more than annually. With the engine and the
Aqua-Hot off, open the drain to evacuate any contaminants and then close it.
Element Replacement:
The contamination level in the fuel determine the element’s replacement
frequency. 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 tankful of contaminated fuel can plug a fuel
filter.
To Replace the Element:
• Drain the filter unit of fuel by opening drain valve.
• Spin bowl/element from head and remove element.
• Coat new seals with motor oil and the install new ele-
ment.
• Prime spin bowl/element with clean fuel.
• Spin bowl/element onto head and tighten firmly by hand.
• Start Aqua-Hot and check for leaks.
