300 tdi sedimentor
« on: May 23, 2008, 11:07:03 »
Is it enough to just drain this if not in position to strip and clean properly at moment?

Any thoughts appreciated

Personally I bypass these things if needed to be worked on

As most of them are brittle and probably not been touched for years

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

Hi.

To drain it out is better than nothing, but in my opinion a good strip down and clean will help the rest of your fuel system. The parts are cheap and this filter helps prevent water and debris reaching the main filter and possibly FIP.

Cheers, Dan
