Secondary Fuel Filter and Water
Separator/Heater
(Caterpillar
®
Diesel)
If you have a Caterpillar
®
diesel engine, you may
also have this spin-on filter
and fuel separator/heater.
It will be mounted in the
engine compartment on the
driver’s side of the vehicle.
It has a metal drain bowl at the bottom. Occasionally,
check the bowl for any water or particles.
To check or drain the bowl, do the following:
• Shut off the engine.
• Push up on the spring loaded drain valve until clear
fuel is flowing from the valve.
The particles or water will drain out first. See Engine Oil
