Racor water separator stuck!

[ZuidWester]

Help! My enormous water separator got jammed. The ball is stuck.
Any suggestions? It would cost me over 300 Euros to replace it.
The model is 900 FF, should be able to deliver 6 Liters per min.
Help!
BTW. This thing is huge!

Take to garage & use compressed air?

I took it to the chandlers with a dinghy pump. It can difficult to explain what the problem is sometimes so a demo says all. I attached the pump and he ran away!
Couldn't clear it with that method. I'll have to up the pressure at the petrol station tomorrow. Hope the bomb squad don't turn up. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

do not pressurise with garage compresser

You could easily over pressure the filter and injure yourself.

The finest way is to use hydraulic power, say water and pump it up without air, the potential release of energy from an air explosion is way way more than that released when using liquid.
