CHANGING FUEL FILTER
Removal
1. Remove fuel filter cap by turning
counterclockwise. Fuel filter
element will come out with cap.
2. Remove and discard bevel gasket. Carefully clean mating surfaces.
3. Press in on fuel filter element locking tabs, to separate element from
cap.
Installation
The engine will not run properly if the fuel filter is not installed
in housing.
1. Apply a coating of clean diesel fuel to new bevel gasket and install
onto fuel filter housing gland.
2. Install new fuel filter element onto cap. Place new fuel filter element
and cap into fuel filter housing. Allow fuel to soak into fuel filter
element. Tighten cap onto fuel filter housing until cap contacts the
aluminum housing.
Fuel with more than average impurities may require more frequent filter
changing intervals.

This additive aids in the prevention of rust and scale buildup on the
internal parts of the cooling system. Prevention of rust and scale buildup
allows for proper dissipation of heat generated by combustion.
See the ªService Guideº for recommended intervals.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM(S) LAWS
Federal law prohibits vehicle manufacturers, dealers and other persons
engaged in the business of repairing, servicing, selling, leasing or trading
motor vehicles as well as fleet operations from unknowingly removing or
rendering emission control system(s) inoperative. Further, modifications
of the emission control system(s) could create liability on the part of the
individual owners under the laws of some states. In Canada,
modifications of the emission control system(s) could create liability
under applicable Federal or Provincial laws.
Do not remove or alter the original equipment floor covering or
insulation between it and the metal floor of the vehicle. The floor
covering and insulation protect occupants of the vehicle from the engine
and exhaust system heat and noise. On vehicles with no original
equipment floor covering insulation, do not carry passengers in a manner
that permits prolonged skin contact with the metal floor. Provide
adequate insulation.
