DC_ Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Ok I'm getting round to doing the sedimentor today, the new one has no filter inside (like the fuel filter) is this correct? It's basically just an empty shell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Don't know if there is a element inside the body, there will be a seperate fuel filter in the engine bay bolted to the bulkhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_ Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 So there's no element in the sedimentor then? My book is showing no too. Just wanted to check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 there may be a seperator of some type so that heavy deposits of sediment/rust get seperated & don't end up in the filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkie Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I have a similar thing on my tractor, nothing inside, its just a place for heavy stuff like rust and water to sit before the fuel goes to the filter. I guess it is just to extend the service life of the filter if you are using fuel that has sat around a while in a metal storage tank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC_ Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Thanks Paddy I did see that thread a while ago and commented on it. Suppose it wasn't as bad as some have it. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
