MAINTENANCE PLAN 4.7.3.f DRAINING THE WATER SEPARATOR DANGER The fuel is flammable; do not use naked flames and do not smoke while draining the water separator. If some fuel is spilled, wipe it up immediately. This operation serves to drain the condensate water and must be carried out with full tank, in order to prevent air from entering the fuel supply circuit. The condensate must be drained at the end of work, before the engine has completely cooled down, in order to prevent freezing if the temperature gets very low. The water separator can be reached after opening the engine hood (See “3.5.1 ENGINE HOOD”).
The condensate is drained by loosening the plug (1) and waiting until only clear diesel oil flows out . (Use a 13 mm spanner). 179
