FUEL FILTER/WATER SEPARATOR
Refer to the maintenance schedules in Group 0 in this manual for the recommended fuel filter/water separator replacement intervals.

The combination water-in-fuel sensor and fuel filter/water separator is screwed onto a metal housing located on the left/rear side of the engine and below the intake manifold Drain Manifold and Fuel Filter/Water Separator

REMOVAL
Partially drain the filter/separator. Refer to the following: Draining Water from Filter.
DRAINING WATER FROM FILTER: The filter should be drained whenever the water-in-fuel warning lamp remains illuminated. (Note that the lamp will be illuminated for approximately two seconds when the ignition key is initially placed in the ON position for a bulb check) The drain valve can also be used to drain excess fuel from the filter when replacement of the filter is necessary.

There is a drain valve and drain hose located at the bottom of the water-in-fuel (WIF) sensor Drain Valve at Fuel Filter/Water Separator Place a drain pan under the drain hose. With the engine not running, push up on the drain valve Drain Valve at Fuel Filter/Water Separator to remove the water from the filter/separator. Hold the drain valve open until all water and contaminants have been removed and clean fuel exits the drain. Dispose of mixture in drain pan according to applicable regulations

INSTALLATION
Install a new o-ring seal on WIF sensor.
Install WIF sensor/drain valve assembly into new filter/separator.
If the new fuel filter/water separator is not filled with clean fuel before it is installed, manual air bleeding of the fuel system may be necessary (temporary rough engine running may occur) If necessary, refer to the Air Bleed Procedure in this section of the group for procedures.

Fill filter/separator with clean fuel.
Apply a light film of clean unused engine oil to the filter/separator seal.
Install a new o-ring seal to the filter/separator housing Fuel Filter/Water Separator O-ring
