Filters and Strainers
To prevent fueling problems and to minimize the dispenser down-time due to damage to valves
and motor, never operate a unit without the use of a filter or strainer.
CAUTION
• Wear eye protection. Residual pressure and entrapped fuel may still be present
and may drain or spray while removing the parts.

• Fire and explosion could result in severe injury or death.

• Test and close the shear valves involved. Shut off power to the unit.

• Remove the parts slowly. Collect fuel in approved containers.

• Clean up all spills promptly.
WARNING
About Filters
A noticeably slower flow rate usually indicates a dirty filter or clogged strainer. Slow flow or
no flow rate can also result, when water has passed through water alert type filters. Alert the
owner or operator, if water is in the tank.
For efficient operation and long life of pumps and dispensers, replace the fuel filters and clean
the strainers regularly.
• After 50,000 gallons (189,000 liters) or one month for new installations.
• Every 300,000 gallons (1,134,000 liters) or six months thereafter.
Notes: 1) Harsh environments, including old corroded steel fuel storage tanks, may require
change of filters and strainers to be cleaned more frequently.
2) Conversions from non-alcohol to alcohol-enhanced fuels typically results in frequent
filter changes due to the cleansing effect of alcohol in tanks and piping.
Always use the Gasboy-recommended filters (standard, water alert, and high capacity).
