FUEL SYSTEM 6C – 5
FUEL FILTER AND WATER SEPARATOR
A cartridge type fuel filter and a water separator are used along with the VE type injection pump.
As the inside of the injection pump is lubricated by the fuel which it is pumping, the fuel must be perfectly
clean. The fuel filter and the water separator remove water particles and other foreign material from the
fuel before it reaches the injection pump.
The water separator has an internal float. When the float reaches the specified level, a warning light comes
on to remind you to drain the water from the water separator.
A diaphragm type priming pump is installed at the top of the water separator. It is used during the water
draining and the air bleeding procedures.
