Fuel Filters
A primary fuel filter can be located on the engine or remote mounted on the frame
rail. This filter consists of a filter cartridge, a water separation bowl and may have a
fuel heater built in.

The secondary fuel filter is located on the left hand side, below the engine electronic
control unit (EECU). The filter is a spin-on filter.
MACK MP engines utilize a spin-on primary and secondary fuel filters. Both filters
are located on the right-hand side of the engine.

Fuel Filters MACK MP Engine

1. Secondary Fuel Filter 2. Primary Fuel Filter

The primary fuel filter on MACK MP engines incorporates a plastic water separator
bowl. Additionally, the plastic bowl includes a water-in-fuel sensor. A warning lamp
on the instrument panel illuminates when water is detected in the fuel. Refer to
Fuel/Water Separator section.
Note: There are optional fuel filter systems (such as Davco, Conmet, etc.) available
for MACK MP engines. These fuel filter systems use a single remote-mounted
filter, eliminating the spin-on primary and secondary filters. For service information
concerning these filters, refer to the specific fuel filter manufacturers service literature.
