INSTALLATION
1. Choose a convenient location for the filter mount and
filter, making sure you allow enough space for servicing
the petcock and for replacing the filter element.
Suggested locations are the fender well, firewall or the
radiator bulkhead.
2. Mark and drill three holes and mount the filter bracket using the hardware provided.
3. Install the fuel inlet and outlet lines into the appropriate ports. Install the two plugs
provided into the ports that are not being used. Do not over tighten.
4. Apply a light coat of clean oil to the gasket on the fuel filter-water separator and hand-
tighten it on to the filter mount. Once the filter is snug to the filter mount, tighten the
filter 1/4” turn; therefore assuring that the filter will not leak. Filter element should be
replaced every 25,000 miles. Order Derale replacement filter element part #13075.
The water should be drained every 3,000 miles. Both intervals should be shortened if
the fuel being filtered is suspected of containing high levels of contaminants and/or
water.
5. Start engine and check all connections for leaks. Re-tighten if necessary. The Fuel
Filter-Water Separator is designed for use with most fuels: gasoline, diesel fuel,
gasohol, etc. and most additives.
