The water separator filter is responsible for separating the water content in diesel fuel. The water content in diesel fuel occurs due to several factors:
Water is contained in diesel fuel itself
Water produced due to the corrosion process in the tank,
Condensation of water vapor in the air in the tank
The water content in diesel fuel that is not separated by a water separator filter will be very dangerous for the engine, because it can cause rust on engine spare parts, and even damage. Water mixed in diesel fuel causes the fuel supply to the engine to decrease, resulting in incomplete combustion. This event causes the engine to stall and make it difficult to start.
The worst condition is where too much water escapes into the engine combustion chamber, resulting in damage to engine spare parts, namely the piston and connecting rod (piston handlebar). Engines work by compressing air, while water cannot be compressed. As a result, compression from the piston will be opposed by water which carries compression energy from the piston movement. This return energy causes the piston and connecting rod (piston handlebar) to break. Therefore, a water separator filter is very necessary to support a perfect combustion process in the engine.
Water separator filters / water separator filters work using the principle of density differences. Where when diesel enters the water separator filter, the water content which has a higher specific gravity than diesel will be pushed down, and the diesel will rise. The diesel filtering process is then continued by the fuel filter / diesel filter.
The water separator is equipped with a level sensor to measure the height of the water that has been separated. When the water level is maximum, the sensor will turn on, and the water must be released by opening the drain valve at the bottom.
