Fuel filter/water separator IS mounted on chassis directly behind right rear wheel, exposed to flying gravel & rocks from road. (plastic fuel/water separator IS attached to bottom of filter). rock thrown from wheel on gravel road caused plastic to shatter marking engine quit and fuel oil spill on road. air brake filter/air dryer IS also mounted in same exposed location, and could fail in same way, resulting in loss of brakes. these components should be relocated to a safer location and/or protected by a shield or rock deflector. this IS a safety problem.
