The fuel passes from the tank through a pre-filter and is then conveyed by an electric
feed pump through the main filter to the fuel injection pump.
The filters and the feed pump are located inside the engine compartment to the left
hand side of the engine (see figure 6.5 below) and can be accessed by opening the
bonnet from the right hand side of the truck. Replace the filters in accordance with the
maintenance schedule.
