ENGLISH
1 General
VETUS fuel filters/water separators 75100VTE,
79100VTE, 83100VTE, 87100VTE and 91100VTE
have a unique and patented filter with three
filtration steps.
1. First, 80% of the solid dirt particles and wa-
ter (both heavier than fuel) is collected in
the transparent collection basin.
2. After this, the fuel flows upwards. Water and
solid dirt particles are separated by means
of the coalescence effect (to coalesce is for
microscopically small fluid droplets to stick
together as a larger drop) and also collected
in the transparent collection basin.
3. Finally, the fuel flows further up through the
filter mechanism, whose main function is to
stop the smallest solid dirt particles and wa-
ter: this ensures a high filtration rate and a
long life of the fine filter on the engine.
These filters are suitable for diesel fuel only.

2 Installation
Note:
Bear in mind the regulations that your
local authorities have imposed regarding
the specification and installation of fuel
tanks and pipework.
The filter is under pressure (with a pres-
surised non-inflammable gas).
Prior to fitting the filter, remove the caps
on the connections to the fuel supply
line and open the valves to depressurise
the filter.
If the valves are opened (with a full fuel
tank) once the filter has already been fit-
ted, fuel will no longer be drawn into the
filter!
Layout
For vessels under construction:
(See illustrations A1 and A2)
Mount the suction pipe at the bottom of the
tank; the bottom of the tank is thus kept clean
