What is a fuel filter and what is its use?
The decanter filter purifies the impurities contained in your fuel throughout the distribution system to the injectors through the tank.
This auto play plays an essential role as a purifier to preserve your engine and extend its lifespan.Indeed, it protects the "health" of your boat motor by removing particles, bacteria or other impurities from the feeding circuit.
How to recognize a failure prodrome?
In case of condensation water in the carburettors or in the engine filters, it will be impossible for you to accelerate and in the worst case, the engine will no longer respond.
Condensed water deposits at the bottom of the tank and is pumped first, which will flush it quickly.
When to change your decanter filter?
The crushing of the decanter filter leads to a lower performance and an increase in fuel.For this, it must be replaced once a year, at each winter season outing.
How to install a new fuel filter?
In off-board motors, it usually has the form of a line filter which generates space gain.Make sure to place the filter in the direction oriented to the fuel line near the carburettor.
