Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified automotive or diesel technician. Before servicing the fuel separator, relieve system fuel pressure and ensure the ignition is off to prevent fuel ignition hazards. Thread the element in by hand until the gasket seats, then tighten according to the housing manufacturer's torque specification - do not over-tighten. After installation, prime the fuel system and inspect for leaks before returning the vehicle or equipment to service.
