The fuel filter-sediment collector is installed on the front bracket of the fuel tank
The filter element of the sediment collector consists of a large number of aluminum plates 12 with a thickness of 0.14 mm,
which have protrusions 14 with a height of 0.05 mm; therefore, a gap of 0.05 mm remains between the plates, and only clean gasoline passes through holes 13, while sand and dirt particles larger than 0.05 mm are retained.
Fuel filter sump: 1 - filter sump housing; 2 - paronite gasket; 3 - fuel line to the fuel pump; 4 - cover bolt; 5 - fuel line from the fuel tank; 6 - filter element gasket; 7 - filter element; 8 - filter element stand; 9 - sump spring; 10 - drain plug; 11 - plug; 12 - filter element plate; 13 - holes in the plates for fuel passage; 14 - protrusions on the plate; 15 - holes in the plate for the racks
Maintenance of the fuel filter-sump consists of systematically draining water and dirt through the plug 10, as well as periodically disassembling and washing the filter element.
When draining dirt from the sump, as well as when disassembling it, you should first turn off the fuel tanks by setting the handle of the tap 12 to the "Closed" position.
To wash the element, you need to unscrew the bolt 4 (Fig. 1) on the filter cover and remove the housing 1 together with the filter element.
When disassembling the filter-sump, it is important not to damage the gasket 2, which ensures the tightness of the housing with the cover.
After unscrewing the plug and emptying the sump, you need to rinse it with clean gasoline.
To do this, open the the fuel tank tap for a time sufficient to rinse the sump with clean gasoline.
After rinsing the element with gasoline, install it in place and tighten the bolt on the cover.
