Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the WK 950/21, ensure the engine is off and the fuel system is depressurized. Begin by removing the old filter using a standard filter wrench, taking care to catch any fuel drainage. Before mounting the new filter, lubricate the rubber gasket with a thin layer of clean diesel fuel to ensure a proper seal. Thread the new filter onto the mount by hand until the gasket makes contact, then tighten it according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Avoid overtightening to prevent gasket failure. Regularly check the fuel system for leaks after the first engine startup. If your engine is equipped with a water drainage valve, ensure it is properly bled if the filter contains a trap.
