d. Eliminate sharp bends in the fuel lines wherever possible.

The best indicator of a fuel element’s condition is a vacuum gauge.

mounting the gauge on the OUTLET port of the DAHL filter unit.

HOW THE DAHL SYSTEM WORKS

1. The contaminated fuel enters the inlet port.

2. The T-Bolt redirects the fuel dow n ward through the
centerpipe.
1
3. Fuel flows through the reverse flow valve.
2 4. Fuel flow is spread by the depressurizer cone.
5. As fuel is discharged from the depressurizer cone, 80%
3
of contaminant separation takes place. Most of the solid
particles and water settle into the quiet zone of the bowl.
6. As the fuel rises upward, any remaining minute water
4 droplets coalesce on cone, baffle and bowl surfaces.
Droplet size and weight gradually increase, causing
downward flow into the sump.
5
7. Fuel is filtered completely by the element, which
contains HydroShield™ media. The clean fuel then
continues upward through the outlet port and on to the
6 pump and injection system.
