RSS and RST series separator cartridges are for the separation of water from aviation fuels in accordance with API/EI 1581 3rd and 5th Edition. The second stage of the water removal process is completed using either a Teflon® or synthetic separator element. The fuel flows from the coalescer element and enters the separator element from outside to inside. The separator element is manufactured from hydrophobic material and is designed to repel water droplets that are carried over from the coalescer element. These water droplets are retained on the separator element surface until they become large enough to fall by gravity into the water collection sump.
