3.5.4 Fuel-water separator and fuel filters. The fuel separator shall include provisions for
drainage of separated water. Provisions for daily drainage of all filters shall be furnished. The
drainage provisions shall be within easy reach of an operator or mechanic during normal
preoperational vehicle checks and shall not require the use of tools to operate or the disassembly
of any components to gain access. The operation of the drains shall be simple, and the location

3.6 Operating environment requirements. Each shall operate under the following
environmental conditions without damage or loss of performance.
3.6.1 Environmental performance. The engine shall start within one minute after
cranking, following 15 minutes of warm-up under the following performance conditions:
a. Temperature conditions. With integral starting aids only after being cold-soaked
for 24-hour period without benefit of solar-radiation, to an ambient temperature of
-25°F (-32°C).
b. Elevation conditions. At any elevation from sea level to 8000 ft (2438 m) as
specified in table II, the engine shall have adequate torque and power
characteristics to meet the performance requirements specified herein.
c. Humidity conditions. Under relative humidity conditions as low as 5% at
temperature of 120°F (49 °C) and as high as 100% at all temperatures from
-25° to 85°F (-32° to 29°C).
