A fuel water separator is a device that works to ensure clean fuel is delivered to the engine. Properly speaking, a fuel water separator is a small filtering device used to remove the water from the diesel fuel before it reaches to the sensitive parts of the engine. Water and contaminants have a direct impact on the service life and performance of  diesel engines . Besides being abrasive to engine components and cylinder walls, water and contamination displaces diesel fuel’s lubricative coating on the high precision injector components, causing tolerance erosion, surface pitting, fuel pressure loss and poor performance. Unfortunately, there is no way to completely prevent water from contaminating fuel. Condensation is constantly forming inside fuel tanks. Nowadays, there are number of manufacturers who make fuel water separators with their concept of operation being common and only design variations being the major difference. The first stage of the fuel water separator uses a...
