While the likelihood of having
to
service the fuel system at sea
is
small, the possibility does exist. Therefore,
we
recommend that a replacement fuel filter be carried on board at all times. Each fuel filter comes with two
O-ring gaskets.
Select the part numbers for this fuel filter from your Parts List and purchase spares from your
local Westerbeke Dealer
or
Distributor.
If a leak should develop at a banjo
or
sealing washer that cannot be corrected
by
a simple tightening of the
fitting, replace the leaking washer. A Fuel Hardware Kit
is
available
for
this engine which contains all the seal-
ing washers used in the fuel system, except those noted in the fuel filter replacement cartridge illustration
shown below. .
Replacing
the
Fuel Filter
Elements
After the first 50 hours of operation, remove filter
cup
# 9
by
unscrewing bolt
#3
and drawing down on the
#6

filter element and the old #
5,
#7
and
#8
O-rings. Clean the
#9
filter
cup
and install the new

ment along with
