Monitoring the Two-Filter Fuel System Filters
Monitoring the Two-Filter Fuel System Filters - Ops
- DD5
Notice: Fuel filter elements will turn black
over time. This is normal for DD5/DD8 only. Do not replace filters
solely because of this condition. Replace filters between normal service
intervals only if required by troubleshooting.
The engine is
equipped with a prefilter that filters down to 100 microns, a coalescer/final
filter that separates water (DD8 only, the DD5 is not equipped with
a water coalescing filter), and filters down to two microns.. When
servicing these elements, both filters should be changed at the same
time. Both elements are located within the fuel filter module located
on the left side of the engine.
Note: Filter change intervals
may be shortened to conform with established preventive maintenance
schedules, but should never be extended.
