The coolant heater fuel filter is filled during the manufacturing assembly process which allows sufficient fuel to test fire the unit. The test fire,
or operation validation process, will result in air in the fuel system as the fuel tank fuel level will be below the pickup tube level.
SYMPTOMS
• Unit will not start and run when received from the manufacturing.
• Repeated failed start attempts resulted in system shut down requiring system to be reset (Espar).
RESOLUTION
• Prior to validating fuel fired heater operation, remove fuel filter housing and fill with clean fuel.
• Ensure fuel tank is filled to above 1/4 of a tank.
• Reset system and timer as required by the manufacturer.
• Follow engine coolant heater manufacturer instructions to fire system.
• Once running, run unit for a minimum of 30-40 minutes to purge all air from the fuel system.
NOTE:
Priming the fuel system would be considered part of the dealer pre-delivery process and would not be covered under standard warranty coverage.
