Stage 1 - Separation
As fuel enters the assembly, it
moves through the centrifuge and
spins off large solids and water
droplets, which are heavier than
fuel, and fall to the bottom of the
collection bowl.
Stage 2 - Coalescing
Small water droplets bead-up on
the surface of the conical baffle
and cartridge filter. When heavy
enough, they too fall to the bottom
of the collection bowl.
