Filter Service Recommendations
Plugging of either the fuel filter, the screen in the water separator nipple or the water
separator itself will cause low fuel pressure and low blow to the engine. Should you
experience low fuel pressure, first check the screen in the water separator nipple. If it is
blocked by a film or debris, unscrew the nipple from the base, clean the screen, then re-
install the nipple. If the screen is not restricted, check the water separator for plugging and
restriction, then replace as necessary! If the low fuel pressure issue continues, replace the
fuel filter.

The Water Separator
Replace the water separator every other time you change the Fuel Filter or if it becomes
damaged or plugged. It is suggested to check/drain the water separator every three months
or as needed should you experience excessive ‘water in fuel’ conditions. When installing the
water separator, be sure to clean the underside of the AirDog II base. Follow the
instructions printed on the pre-filter for proper tightening procedures.
Caution: Be extremely careful to prevent any contaminates or debris from entering the
pre-filter when removing it for cleaning! Large debris will jam the Gerotor and cause the
fuse to blow. This is not a warranty item. Should this happen, you can easily put the system
back into working order. See the instructions on “How to clean the Gerotor” for proper
procedures
.
The Fuel Filter
Remove the fuel filter by turning it counter clockwise. Do Not pre-fill the fuel filter with
fuel. The AirDog II will fill the filter and prime the system automatically. Follow the
instructions on the filter for proper tightening procedures.
CAUTION: Dispose of waste fuel and used filters properly to protect OUR
environment!
