Anti-siphon Valve
• The anti-siphon valve is a vital fuel system part.
• If the fuel line ruptures, this valve will prevent the fuel from siphoning from the tank.
• The valve is located on the fuel tank, where the fuel feed line attaches to the tank.
• The valve is spring loaded and is opened by fuel pump vacuum.
Fuel Filter/Water Separator (Diesel Engine Only)
• The fuel feed line features a fuel filter/water separator.
• Service instructions for the fuel filter/water separator is provided on
the filter.
• If an engine running problem is diagnosed as fuel starvation, check the anti-siphon valve.
• If the valve is stuck or clogged, change or replace it while the engine is shut down.
• NEVER run the engine with the anti-siphon valve removed, except in an emergency.
NOTICE
• The frequency of water draining or element replacement is determined by the contamina-
tion level in the fuel.
• Inspect the collection bowls for water daily.
• Replace the elements at least once a year, or when a loss of power is noticed, whichever
comes first.
