00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,042
The fuel filter assembly removes contaminants larger than 5 microns from the fuel.

2
00:00:06,042 --> 00:00:09,542
This protects the engine's high-pressure fuel equipment.

3
00:00:09,542 --> 00:00:17,917
The fuel filter assembly is made up of two tanks, or canisters, and each tank contains a 45-inch, three-piece filter element.

4
00:00:17,917 --> 00:00:26,750
The two parallel fuel filter tanks are located in the radiator cab adjacent and below the combustion air filter or baggy filter compartment.

5
00:00:26,750 --> 00:00:30,083
Access is from the Helper's side of the locomotive.

6
00:00:30,083 --> 00:00:34,292
Typical steps to remove the fuel filter elements are as follows:

7
00:00:34,292 --> 00:00:39,167
1. Shutdown the engine and open the fuel pump circuit breaker.

8
00:00:39,167 --> 00:00:46,000
<b>Warning:</b> To prevent personal injury and potential equipment damage, ensure that the engine cannot be started.

9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,625
Open the Locomotive Battery Switch.

10
00:00:48,625 --> 00:00:55,125
Also, open the Fuel Pump Circuit Breaker, and apply a warning tag to the Engine Control Switch.

11
00:00:55,125 --> 00:01:03,792
2. Open the fuel filter drain valve, then open the vent valve, which is located above the top fuel filter canister.

12
00:01:03,792 --> 00:01:08,042
<b>Note: </b>Allow sufficient time for the fuel filters to drain.

13
00:01:08,042 --> 00:01:16,917
3. Loosen the nuts holding the fuel filter doors in place, swing the fasteners outward, and remove the fuel filter doors.

14
00:01:16,917 --> 00:01:20,333
4. Remove the old filter elements.
