Diesel engine
Special devices are not required.
Required details:
- If necessary, a fuel filter for diesel.
- A suitable container is required to collect water.
Attention: If diesel fuel gets on rubber parts, then it must be wiped off as soon as possible, otherwise the rubber will be damaged over time.
Water removal
The fuel filter is located on the side of the cylinder block.
Place a suitable container under the drain plug (1). To facilitate the work, you can put a suitable hose on the fitting and direct it outward.
Attention: Close the clutch cover so that diesel fuel does not get inside.
Loosen drain bolt (2) hand. О If fuel does not come out, pull off the return hose at the top of the filter by squeezing the tabs on the quick coupling.
Drain about 200 cm3 of water until clean diesel fuel comes out. Tighten the drain bolt by hand.
Tighten the ventilation bolt on top of the filter.
Check the fuel system for tightness. To do this, start the engine. Air from the fuel system will be removed automatically.
Filter replacement
Completely drain the contents of the filter, as when removing water.
Pull off the fuel hoses by squeezing the tabs on the quick couplings (1).
Attention: When disconnecting the hoses, collect the escaping fuel with a rag. The fuel supply line connection is marked in white to avoid confusion during installation.
Loosen the clamping screw on the filter mount (2) and remove the filter completely.
Fill the new filter with diesel fuel to the brim and install the filter.
Put on the fuel hoses without confusing them.
Remove the drain container from under the filter and, if necessary, remove the hose.
After the test drive, check the tightness of the fuel system.
Gas engine
Fuel filter replacement
Special devices are not required.
Required parts: Fuel filter.
Attention! The fuel system is under pressure. When detaching parts, gasoline may splash, it must be collected with a rag. When removing the fuel filter, a lot of fuel can spill out, so you need to substitute a container under the filter to collect fuel.
Precautions: do not use open fire, do not smoke, keep a fire extinguisher ready. Make sure the workplace is well ventilated and wear protective goggles.
Attention! Contaminated gasoline must not be poured into the domestic sewer.
Removing
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
Attention! This will erase the data from the electronic memory blocks.
The filter is located under the bottom of the car in front of the tank, next to the right rear wheel. Raise and support the vehicle from behind.
Place a drain pan under the fuel filter.
Thoroughly clean the fuel line connections before removing them, e.g. with a cleaner and a brush.
Wrap a rag around the fuel line connections. Remove the fuel lines by squeezing the side brackets of the quick couplings with your fingers.
Loosen the filter clamp.
Remove the fuel filter, having previously marked its position.
Installation
Install a new fuel filter. The direction of fuel flow is shown on the filter housing with an arrow pointing from the tank to the engine.
Tighten the clamp bolt.
Push on the fuel lines to snap the quick couplings into place.
Connect the negative cable to the battery. Set the clock, enter the security code of the radio.
Lower the car.
After the test run, check the tightness of the fuel line connections.
