PROBLEM

Show/hide table

The 307-7803 and 5P-1442 Lines Gp-Fuel Hose may not be connected correctly on certain 320D Excavators. If the fuel hoses are not connected correctly they need to be re-connected to the correct ports on the filter base. Leaving the lines connected incorrectly will leave to reduced performance of the water separator. This can lead to premature wear of the fuel system components like unit injectors or high pressure pump.
