Replacing Fuel Filters
General
The filters are an important part of the fuel
system. Always replace the filters at the
recommended intervals and use the recom-
mended filter types for the best engine
operation and service life.
A primary fuel filter is located on the outer,
right or left frame rail behind the cab. This
filter consists of a filter cartridge, a water
separation bowl and may have a fuel heater
built in.

Fuel Filter Change Intervals
Filter change intervals should be tied to the
oil change intervals. Depending on the oil
change intervals and/or the fuel cleanliness,
the filters can be changed every or every
other oil change.
Maximum mileage between fuel filter
change is 25,000 miles (40,000 km) or 600
hours.
