How a boat’s fuel filter works

Diesel enters the filter. The filter works a little like a centrifuge and ensures that heavier drops (in this case the diesel fuel) are separated from lighter drops (water). Light micro-organisms (bacteria) are also filtered out of the clean fuel in this way.

Consequences of contaminated diesel fuel

Contaminated diesel or diesel containing water does not ignite properly. As a result, the boat’s engine does not work optimally. So engine problems are not necessarily due to the engine, it can be due to the diesel.
