Abstract
A fuel-conditioning device for removing moisture from fuel includes two replaceable fuel-conditioning cartridges. The cartridges are alternately put in use by selectively positioning a valve actuator. A marking system for the fuel-conditioning cartridges and the valve actuator identifies which cartridge is in use and which can be serviced. A cartridge can be replaced while maintaining a continuous flow of fuel.
