Fill the replacement filter with fuel or Diesel Purge to reduce injection system bleeding time and effort.

Taking the top bolt out worked well. I had vague memories of changing the filter previously. Changing your fuel filter is probably one of the best ways to douse your entire engine and electrical components with diesel fuel. This time I used a plastic bag around it though.

Something tells me I should have taken off the brake vac line (which I really don't want to mess with), because now I can't get the new filter to tilt back into that area.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

jeff
