Fuel Filter: Description and Operation

Fuel Filter:

The fuel feed pipe has a steel fuel filter installed ahead of the fuel injection system. The paper filter element (2) traps particles in the fuel that may damage the injection system. The filter housing (1) is made to withstand maximum fuel system pressure, exposure to fuel additives, and changes in temperature. The fuel filter has a quick connect inlet fitting and a threaded outlet fitting. The threaded fitting is sealed with an O-ring. There is no service interval for fuel filter replacement. Replace a restricted fuel filter.
