MAINTENANCE
Fuel Filter/Water Separator
The fuel filter/water separator is located under the
cargo box on the left side of the vehicle.
Inspect the separator daily for leaks. Drain water and
replace the separator at the intervals outlined in the
Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 73.
Service the separator more frequently if the vehicle is
operated with poor quality fuel.
CAUTION! Both fuel and water will drain from the separator
during the following procedure. Use caution and observe all
fuel safety precautions when handling fuel.
1. Raise the cargo box.
2. Place an appropriate container under the fuel filter
drain to catch fluids (water and fuel).
3. Slightly loosen the bleed screw to relieve fuel pressure in the filter. Do not tighten the
screw at this time.
4. Reach under the fuel filter and slightly loosen the drain valve until the fluids drain from
the drain hole. Do not completely unscrew the drain valve.
5. When fluids stop draining from the valve, tighten
the valve firmly (by hand only).
6. Tighten the bleed screw.
7. With the gear selector in Park, turn the key to the
ON position. Do Not start the engine.
8. The fuel pump will start pumping fuel with the key
in the ON position (10 -15 seconds) and will force
air out of the fuel system.
9. At times it may be necessary to open the bleed
screw on the fuel filter housing until fuel comes
from the valve with no air bubbles.
10. Clean up any spilled fuel and soiled shop towels
properly.
11. Start the engine and check for fuel leaks.
12. Lower the cargo box.
