For 1990-2009 cars only
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 for proper disposal procedures.
