6.3 Fuel Filter
The fuel filter is installed between the fuel feed pump
and fuel injection pump, and removes dirt/foreign matter
from the fuel pumped from the fuel tank.
The fuel filter element must be changed periodiically.
The fuel pumped by the fuel feed pump goes around
the element, is fed through the pores in the filter and
discharged from the center of the cover. Dirt and foreign
matter in the fuel are deposited in the element.
