Without the fuel filter these particles could cause damage and irregularities in the engine to the point where the engine malfunctions. Ensure a regular replacement of the fuel filter FS20403 of Fleetguard. Before replacement, check the parts manual to make sure the FS20403 part fits for your machine.

Replacing the Fleetguard fuel filter

The fuel starts pumping through the system, including the fuel filter, from the moment the engine is started. The Fleetguard fuel filter is developed to catch water and particles within its casing with special filtering techniques. These water and pieces will slowly clog the filter. When the filter is used for a longer time it is a good measure to replace it for a brand new Fleetguard Filter. The parts manual prescribes where the fuel filter is mounted on the machine. Normally this will be mounted on a convenient place between the engine and the fuel tank. The fuel enters the fuel filter through a specific inlet and the filtered fuel will exit through an outlet. Make sure you connect the fuel filter in the right way.
