MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Engine

On-chassis fuel filter (Fuel pre-filter)

Fuel does not flow to the engine and system takes air when the vehicle runs out of fuel or when the low quality fuel is frozen in the filter. After performing the necessary corrective action, bleeding air from the system is performed by the hand pump. Press until hand pump is stiffened, and start the engine when the pump is stiffened.

If the “water in fuel” warning light illuminates when the ignition is on, loosen or unclip the integrated water sensor under the filter assembly and close it when clean fuel appears. Tighten the water sensor securely when you are closing the tap. Otherwise, air may enter the engine, and this may cause fuel leak. WARNING Care that is shown for the cleaning of the fuel filters will contribute the service life of main fuel filter on engine and fuel system of the engine.

Fuel pre-filter performs the initial filtration of the fuel drawn from the fuel tank. Also, it separates the water inside the fuel and provides fuel separated from water to the engine. Filtered water is collected in the container under the filter assembly.

WARNING Do not continue on starting attempts if the vehicle does not start in a few attempt. There may still be air inside the fuel line. Pump fuel with the hand pump, then restart again.
