Fuel filter
The fuel filter is located in the engine compartment. It is contained in an unremovable cartridge. This cartridge
contains a regulating valve which limits the flow of diesel circulating to the engine.
To replace the filter it is therefore necessary to replace the whole unit.
REMOVAL
IMPORTANT: take note of the quantity of diesel and
the residual pressure in the pipes.
Disconnect the pipes on the filter which:
– feed the engine (1),
– come from the fuel tank (2) (low pressure pump),
– return to the tank (3) via the fuel cock (depending on
version),
– return from the engine (4),
– which return to the tank via the temperature
exchanger (5).
NOTE: certain vehicles are not fitted with a fuel cock.
In this case, ignore the repriming procedure.REFITTING
It is vital that you respect the position of the
connections to the filter.
Be careful not to squeeze or damage the pipes.
IMPORTANT:
A fuel cock (R) is fitted to the fuel filter at the level of the
diesel return pipe to the tank.
It should be in open position for normal operation.
To reprime the circuit after an intervention, a filter
change or a fuel fault you should:
– close the fuel cock (R),
– start the low pressure pump by switching on the
ignition several times,
– start the engine,
– OPEN THE FUEL COCK (the valve is open when the
two coloured lines are aligned).
It is necessary to periodically bleed the water trapped
in the diesel filter via the bleed plug (6). YOU SHOULD FOLLOW THE CLEANNESS

REMOVAL
Disconnect the battery.
Set the engine to top dead centre using the pin
Mot. 1054.
Release from the fuel filter from its support.
Remove:
– the injection computer mounting,
– the high pressure pulley cover,
– the pump outlet/injection rail inlet pipe using
Mot.1383.
Insert the blanking plugs.
Disconnect the fuel return pipe from the pump and
insert the plugs to maintain cleanness.
Fit tool Mot. 1200-01 on the pulley.Remove the nut from the high pressure pump pulley.
Fit the extractor Mot. 1525 fitted with the adaptor
Mot. 1525-01 on the pulley pump then disassemble
the unit.
Remove the mounting nuts by holding the bolts (1). YOU SHOULD FOLLOW THE CLEANNESS

Reprime the circuit using a fuel cock (R) placed on the
diesel filter (depending on version).
NOTE: certain vehicles are not fitted with a fuel cock.
In this case, ignore the repriming procedure.

After any intervention, check that there are no
leaks in the diesel circuit. Start the engine at idling
speed until the fan starts up, then accelerate several
times under no load.

Checking diesel pressure and flow

Checking diesel pressure and flow
It is possible to check the pressure and flow in the low pressure fuel circuit.
The low pressure is delivered by the supercharging pump (electric pump located under the diesel filter designed to
feed the high pressure pump).
SPECIAL TOOLING REQUIRED
Mot. 1311-01
Pressure gauge or
Mot. 1328
Mot. 1311-08 Pressure measuring connector
ESSENTIAL SPECIAL TOOLING
Graduated 2000 ml test tube
CHECK LOW PRESSURE
(SUPERCHARGING PUMP)
Place a "T" connector Mot. 1311-08, to position the
pressure gauge Mot. 1311-01 or Mot. 1328 at the
outlet (S) of the fuel filter or at the HP pump inlet.
Turn the fuel pump using the diagnostic tool or by
directly feeding the pump (each time the ignition is
switched on the low pressure pump is supplied for
30 seconds).
Measure the pressure which should be between
2.5 and 4 bars.CHECK THE FLOW (SUPERCHARGING PUMP)
Make the pump flow into a 2000 ml graduated test
tube. Turn on the ignition to run the pump. The pump is
supplied for 30 seconds if the engine is not started.
The flow read should be 80 to 100 litres/hour
minimum.
IMPORTANT: it is forbidden to measure the
pressure and the flow of the high pressure pump.
