4.7 REPLACE COALESCER ELEMENTS AND SEPARATOR ELEMENT.
This procedure is performed when the reading observed on the differential pressure gauge during operation reaches or
exceeds fifteen psi, or when the liquid fuel filter-separator is to be used with a different type of pumpage. (Coalescer
elements should be dedicated to one type of pumpage [e.g., JP-4 only]). Used elements should be handled with rubber
gloves due to the toxic effects of some fuel additives. New elements should be handled with clean rubber gloves or the
packing bag to avoid hand contact with the element surface. Soiled hands - even normal skin oils - may contaminate the
filter element and render it ineffective.
This task consists of:
a. Removal
b. Service

or clothing. Do not use near open flame. Area
should be well ventilated.
·
Fuel is flammable. Do not smoke.
WARNING
·
Death or personal injury may result from the explosion of fuel fumes exposed
to an open flame or spark, or to static discharge. Do not permit smoking, any
open flame, or spark producing equipment within fifty (50) feet of the liquid fuel
filter-separator. Ensure all equipments are well grounded prior to commencing
any operation or maintenance task.
·
Rubber gloves should be worn when handling refueling system components
due to the toxic effects of some fuel additives.
NOTE
This procedure assumes that the liquid fuel filter-separator has been defueled.
However, some fuel will have accumulated in the sump due to normal drainage of
saturated coalescer elements after defueling.
a. Removal. (Figure 4-3)
(1)
Remove nuts (1), lock washers (2) and element retainer (3).
