Operation
6.1
Liquid level in the float housing
The liquid level depends on the operating conditions of the system and
amounts to approximately 20-50 mm in suction mode. If the liquid level is
higher, the float housing may be completely filled with fuel. When the operat-
ing conditions change, for example, decreasing liquid level in the tank, the air
cushion is formed again in the float housing.
6.2
Accumulations of air in the filter cup
Depending on the filter insert and the suction vacuum of the system, an air
cushion may form in the filter cup. If the filter insert is new, there may be only
a little amount of fuel in the filter cup. This does not affect the operation of the
system (as long as the inside of the filter insert is wetted with fuel).
With increasing pollution of the filter insert, the suction pressure increases
and the filter cup gradually fills up completely with fuel.
6.3
