Separator and Purification System Installation Instructions

Take the
separator from the packing container and remove all factory
installed port plugs. If you have purchased a PURIFICATION
SYSTEM that includes a FUEL STABILIZER, the fuel stabilizer
must be installed on or following the separator. Attaching the
two units by use of the enclosed nipple is the normal method.
If space is an issue the units can be installed inline but
separate.
The poly
bag containing fittings will have bushings to reduce the
separator ports to your desired fitting size, a reducing
bushing with a bleeder valve installed for the top of the
separator, a ball valve for the bottom and two pipe plugs. One
plug will fit the bottom of the ball valve as a safety plug
and the other is for the small sensor port that is below the
inlet port.
If the
optional water sensor has been ordered refer to the sensor
instructions for mounting information.
Use the
nipple to connect the two units. Apply MEGALOC Sealant to the
joints.
Install the
ball valve in the bottom of the separator using the supplied
MEGALOC Sealant. Close the valve before filling and while the
engine is running.
The system
has been pressure tested. If you remove any fittings you must
re-apply Sealant to this joint after filling.
Use MEGALOC
Sealant on ALL pipe fittings and threads.
Note: The
inlet is the HIGHER of the two ports
Locate an area
along the vehicle frame rail, vessel bulkhead or equipment
fuel line between the fuel tank and primary fuel filter
that is unrestricted and clear for mounting the
Separator/System. Splice the diesel fuel line.
Do not mount
the separator more than 3 inches higher than the primary
filter. In line is preferred.
When you tap
into your existing fuel line if the tank is higher than the
fuel pump, fuel will flow freely from the tank to the ground.
Do not drain your tank on the ground.
Keep in mind
that this fuel flow is needed to fill the Dieselcraft system.
If you mount the system too high the fuel flow from the tank
to the engine will be restricted.
Using the
bracket and strap provided, mount the Separator/System
vertically making sure that the IN and OUT ports are in the
correct position for proper flow. NOTE: The in port is ALWAYS
higher than the out port. Make sure that there is adequate
room below the Separator/System for access to the drain port
and above to enable you to fill the separator before startup.
Install all
the provided fittings in the separator ports. Make sure that
MEGALOC Sealant is used to prevent leakage from around the
newly installed fittings.
WARNING: The use of incorrect fittings may alter the
manufacturer's specifications and adversely affect the
Separator/System performance.
Fill the
Separator with clean diesel fuel. Close the system.
Refer to your
owner’s manual as to the procedure for bleeding air from the
system as when you replace fuel filter.
Start the
engine and check for leaks.
If in 24 hours
you encounter hard starting, it may be an indication of an air
leak in the system. It is imperative to apply ample sealant to
all joints.
ROUTINE
SEPARATOR/SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The
Separator/System should be checked for contaminates in
accordance with the vehicle/ equipment recommended oil change
schedule, but not to exceed 500 hours or 5,000 miles.
Make sure
that the vehicle ignition is in the off position and in park.
Set the parking brake to insure that the vehicle will not
move.
With a
suitable container as large as or larger than the separator,
open the drain valve and drain the unit until all contaminated
fuel is removed. NOTE: It is not necessary to completely drain
Separator/System of all fuel. When clean diesel fuel appears
the draining process is complete.
When
cleaning is complete close the drain and insert the
safety plug.
Dispose of
the contaminated fuel properly. It is considered HAZARDOUS
WASTE.

The Executive Order or the exemption it provides is not an
endorsement or approval of any emissions reduction claims for
the Fuel Stabilizer, and is only a finding that the device is
exempt from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156
