Use cases & applications
Scheduled service
Change the fuel filter at the interval in the engine's operation and maintenance manual, sooner if the fuel is poor or the engine loses power, and drain water from the separator every day before starting.
Water or dirty fuel
After a tank of poor fuel, water in the system or a loss of power, change the filter, drain the separator and bleed the system before the engine runs again.
Fleet and rental machines
Keep one on the shelf for each machine in the fleet so a service is never held up waiting for parts.
