General Information

TOC

Filtration and separation of oil from the fuel is important for trouble-free operation and long life of the fuel system. In certain cases, oil is introduced into the fuel from gas compressors when the fuel is pressurized. Some of the components in the fuel system are susceptible to oil contamination.

The fuel filter element has a valve that must be opened daily to drain the collected oil. Regular maintenance, including draining oil from the filter, is essential to keep the oil out of the fuel system.

WARNING

Fuel is flammable. Keep all cigarettes, flames, pilot lights, arcing equipment, and switches out of the work area and areas sharing ventilation to reduce the possibility of severe personal injury or death when working on the fuel system.

Before removing any component, turn off the fuel supply at the vehicle’s main fuel shutoff valve.

Start the engine and allow it to run at idle. Allow the engine to run until it dies.
