Explanation:
Gebaseerd op wat Sven schrijft begint me iets te dagen.
Wassen zijn vaste stoffen die in de andere componenten van bv diesel moeilijk oplossen, en die 's winters uitvlokken en dan zorgen voor verstopte brandstofleidingen en -injectiepompen. Ze kunnen verwijderd worden in een proces, waarbij MEK wordt gebruikt (MEK = MethylEthylKeton). Hier worden de filters van deze unit bedoeld.

evt punten dus naar Sven!!!

  -> Your MEK = English, mine Dutch Spelling. Same stuff though. I could describe the procees, but I am just not sure enough (chemist, not petroleum-engineer). Removing wax FROM the MEK is not a plausible option.

neutral  Fred ten Berge: die 'MEK' hoort er toch echt bij?!

Explanation:
MEK (volledig in NL aaneengeschreven!): methylethylketon.
De afkorting (MEK) is gangbaar en wordt ook in bijv. ARBO-handleidingen bebruikt.
Vermoedelijk verstandig, afhankelijk van klant en doelgroep, om tussen haakjes volledige naam te vermelden.

'apparaat' heeft vaak voorkeur boven letterlijke vertaling (eenheid)!
