Correct maintenance of oil-water separator: drain water

I believe many friends are familiar with draining water from the oil-water separator. Just unscrew the drain valve under the oil-water separator and drain the water cleanly. The oil-water separator with automatic drainage function is simpler. As long as the alarm signal is received, the water release button in the cab can be pressed to release the water. The water release valve will automatically close after the water is released. This can ensure that the water in the oil-water separator is drained out in time. But draining water is not as simple as we think. In fact, draining water also has many things to pay attention to. Let’s talk about what should be paid attention to when discharging water from the oil-water separator.

1. Discharge water in time.
During daily routine maintenance, we should take a look at the oil-water separator. If there is too much water in it or exceeds the warning line, we must drain the water in time.

2. Discharge water regularly.
First of all, after the fuel is completely consumed, the water in the oil-water separator needs to be released in time. Secondly, after replacing the fuel filter, the water in the oil-water separator must be released in time.

3. Don’t forget to add oil after draining the water.
After draining the water from the oil-water separator, be sure to refill the fuel pump until the fuel pump is full.
