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.
