PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
5-22 TNV IDI Service Manual
Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Drain the fuel filter / water separator whenever
there are contaminants, such as water, collected in
the bottom of the cup. NEVER wait until the
scheduled periodic maintenance if contaminants
are discovered.
The cup of the separator is made from
semi-transparent material. In the cup is a
red-colored float ring. The float ring will rise to the
surface of the water to show how much needs to be
drained. Also, some optional fuel filter / water
separators are equipped with a sensor to detect the
amount of contaminants. This sensor sends a
signal to an indicator to alert the operator.
Drain the fuel filter / water separator as follows:
1. Position an approved container under the fuel
filter / water separator (Figure 5-7, (1)) to
collect the contaminants.
Figure 5-7
2. Close (Figure 5-7, (2)) the fuel cock
(Figure 5-7, (3)).
3. Turn the retaining ring (Figure 5-7, (4)) to the
left (Figure 5-7, (9)).
4. Carefully remove the cup (Figure 5-7, (1)).
Remove the retaining spring (Figure 5-7, (6))
and float (Figure 5-7, (7)) from the cup. Pour
the fuel into an approved container and dispose
properly. Hold the bottom of the cup with a shop
towel to prevent the fuel from dripping. Wipe up
any spills immediately.
5. Clean the inside of the cup.
6. Inspect the condition of the mesh filter
(Figure 5-7, (10)). Clean the mesh filter if
necessary.
7. Inspect the condition of the O-ring
(Figure 5-7, (11)). Replace the O-ring if
necessary.
CAUTION
If the fuel filter / water separator is
positioned higher than the fuel level in
the fuel tank, water may not drip out
when the fuel filter / water separator
drain cock is opened. If this happens,
turn the air vent screw on the top of the
fuel filter / water separator 2-3 turns
counterclockwise.
Be sure to tighten the air vent screw
after the water has drained out.
