An improved secondary fuel filter base has been introduced. The new secondary fuel filter base has a thicker flange, which removes the need for a spacer.

The improved secondary fuel filter base will replace the 311-2376 Fuel Filter As and the 298-4603 Fuel Filter As. If the secondary fuel filter base needs replacing, refer to one of the following options.


NOTICE

Ensure that all adjustments and repairs that are carried out to the fuel system are performed by authorised personnel that have the correct training.

Before begining ANY work on the fuel system, refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "General Hazard Information and High Pressure Fuel Lines" for safety information.

Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting Manual, "Cleanliness of Fuel System Components" for detailed information on the standards of cleanliness that must be observed during ALL work on the fuel system.



NOTICE

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
