FUEL FILTERS AND SEPARATORS
All fuel exiting the fuel tanks is purified by fuel filters and fuel filter/water separators. The engine-mounted fuel filters are
covered in TM 5-2815-231-14.
Each engine is provided with a Racor 1000 FG fuel filter/water separator assembly. This assembly separates water from the
diesel fuel and performs primary filtration. Final filtration is performed by the engine-mounted fuel filters. The Racor 1000
FG fuel filter/water separators use separation, coalescing, and filtration to remove water and contaminants. The fuel filter/
water separator contains a turbine centrifuge that separates solids and "free" water from the fuel through centrifugal
separation. After separation, smaller water droplets and solids coalesce on the fuel filter/water separator's conical baffle and
fall to the collection bowl. After coalescing, the fuel passes through a filter before exiting the fuel filter/water separator. The
filter's water repelling media removes nearly 100% of the water from the fuel and removes particles as small as 2 microns.
The generator engine is provided with a Racor 120 fuel filter/water separator. The unit has a spin-on filter element and a
reusable collection bowl. The filter element is a water repelling media that removes nearly 100% of the water from the fuel and
removes particles as small as 30 microns.
