When I change my spin-on filter, I pre fill it with ATF from a new bottle.
Then you know it is clean.
Screw it on and start the engine.

Never pre fill from a spare fuel can or siphone fuel from the fuel tank.
And I remember on an old thread several yrs ago some one dumping the fuel from the old filter into the new one.
That is a big no no. You are just dumping crap into the new filter.

Having clean fuel cannot be stressed enough.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
