Fuel is drawn from the locomotive tank into one chamber, passes through one element, and is pumped to the second chamber and through the second element before reaching the engine. The assembly also includes a relief valve to bypass the filters if fuel pressure becomes too high. Maintenance involves regularly removing and repacking the filter elements with cleaning medium according to a maintenance schedule.
