The heart of the fuel filter is made of hydrophobic special paper, which is, spirally wound in form of a bag in order to offer the largest possible filtering area under the prevailing spa- tial conditions and thus to achieve a high lifetime in combination with a high dirt retaining capacity ‘The fuel pre-fiter / water separator mainly consists of: * the dirt / water collecting bow! * and the filter element Function ‘The fuel lift pump draws the fuel through this fiter. ‘Any water contained in the fuel deposits on the dirt side of the filter paper and separates from the fuel in form of large drops on the clean side of the filter (coa- lescence effect). Water is heavier than diesel fuel, it settles as a differ- ent colour fluid on the bottom, ‘Once the water level reaches the height of the warn- ing connections (sensor 8124), the warming lamp (H70) in the monitoring board (A15) will come on, Fuel pre-heating (option) In diesel engines the pre-heating of the fuel prevents malfunctions caused by the formation of jelly (paraffin separation) inthe fuel under low temperatures. ‘The integrated heating is a starting aid for cold weath- er applications. The heating is delivered with an auto- matic thermostat to start the heating when the fuel temperature drops below 7*C. The generated heat works directly under the filter element and melts the wax crystals that have formed, so that the fuel can flow through the fiter element without restriction. The heating automatically shuts down at a fuel tempera- ture of 24°C. The 200W heating is supplied with 12V D.C-current. The heater is activated when operating the ignition switch; this should take place at least 5 minutes before starting the engine. ‘A normal On/Off switch may be installed to operate the relay. This can be used to e.g. interrupt the current, flow to the relay in the summer season, Draining off water or fuel ‘Should the fiter element be clogged prematurely (no- ticeable e.g. by a drop in power), operation of the ma- chine can be continued with the following procedure: * Open the bleeding screw (this applies atmospheric pressure to the filter element and loosens larger dirt particles from the underside of the filter, which will then drop down), * Open the drain valve and drain off approx. 0.5 | of fuel. The fuel above the filter element presses through the filter element and frees the underside from dirt * Close the drain valve again. Perform ‘A power drop or poor starting of the engine is mainly caused by leaks in the fuel system. If you suspect a fil- ter problem, you should check whether bleeding screw and drain valve are tightly closed and the filter element is flush with the sight glass. Check the filter connections for leaks and the lines for clogging or po- rous points. Main fuel filter Fig. 2 Main fel titer [A Caution ‘The main fuel filter is subjected to the approx. 10, bar fuel pre-pressure from the fuel lift pump. This pressure value is considerably higher than on oth- er engines. You should therefore only use original, filter elements (Fig. 2) at this point. Similar looking filters with identical dimensions are not necessar- ily pressure proof! A filter, with insufficient pressure resistance, will be destroyed and disintegrate by this high pres- sure This will cause severe damage in the injec tion system! 340 BOMAG 008 911 63Check, clean the water separator 11.23 11.23Check, clean the water sepa- rator Danger of injury! ‘Support the engine hood for all maintenance and repair work. 1 Note The service intervals for the water separator depend on the water content in the fuel and can therefore not be determined precisely. After taking the engine into operation you should therefore check the water sepa- rator every day for signs of water. Ifa to high quantity is drained off, the filter must be re- filled with fuel.
