How They
Work:
The Racor
RFF family comes with a stainless steel filter built right in. As
you pour your fuel through the funnel observe the sump area of the
funnel. If the fuel contains free water it will collect in the sump,
since water is heavier than fuel. When you have a substantial amount
of water (approximately 1 cup), dispose of it properly and resume
fueling. If the RFF filter becomes clogged with solid contaminants,
rinse it with clean fuel and then return to fueling.
When properly used, the filter will separate free water from
hydrocarbon fuels. Free water is the collection of water molecules
in the bottom of gas cans, tanks, or drums formed when fuel is
stored for even short periods of time. The free water formation is
due to condensation in the air and/or the separation of water
molecules from fuel. Water may be present in hydrocarbon fuels as
free water or as emulsion, small droplets of water suspended in the
fuel. Water may be emulsified in fuel by vibration or by emulsifying
additives such as alcohol, or detergents. The RFF filter will not
remove emulsified water. Install Racor fuel filter/water separators
to remove emulsified water from your engine’s fuel system. |
