    hi I have a 2000 770 Volvo d12 and running low on fuel in the water separator so beetwen 2-3 oil changes the fuel level doesn't raise and even the engine is running like with less power.as soon as I put like 2-3 inches of fuel in the water separator then prime the hand primer I can hear like a squirting on top of the head around injector 2-3 is that normal? after that the engine runs much nicer for like 300-400 miles and again the fuel disappears from separator and engine runs like having hard time to get fuel to the injectors , like when pushing the gas pedal down it is getting false air(in the water separator cannot see any air bobbles).if u have an advise please helpThanks

    Is the water separator a Fuel-Pro 382? I've seen similar symptoms and it turned out to be a cracked dome on the filter housing. Best of luck.

    I'd say check the plastic dome, o-rings, and cap for cracks or damage, if you find anything suspect talk to the parts person at your dealer. They should either know or be able to find someone who knows. Good luck

    Do you have bubbles coming up the side on the DAVCO? indicates a bad o-ring or crack in the dome.
