Function and Maintenance
The glass bowl acts as a collection point for water, which is heavier than diesel and separates by decantation. Transparency is essential for monitoring when water needs to be drained. It is secured to the filter head by the central rod and sealed with appropriate gaskets.
IMPORTANT NOTE: While the glass bowl offers the advantage of visual inspection, it is more fragile than the aluminium (opaque) variant. Ensure it is secured correctly and that the gaskets are intact to prevent leaks.
