3rd Generation Fuel Filter Removal And Installation
Original Write Up By HorseHauler
To start off, here are the easy instructions:
Fuel filter change procedure.
1) turn the yellow water seperator valve and let everything drain out. (i like to extend the hose to reach bucket for less mess)
2) get 1 1/8" socket and unscrew the filter lid, this will also help drain fuel out faster
3) take out old filter AND o-ring
4) wipe out the inside if necassary (but you shouldnt need to do it, unless there is a ton of gunk in there, IMO risk for getting lint in the container)
5) stick on new filter AND o-ring
6) lube the o-ring
7) stick it back in the canister
8) turn the seperator valve back to normal
9) twist the fuel filter cab back on snug (or i believe to 24 Ft Lbs)
10) turn the key a couple times (bump start the engine this get the pump goin longer)
11) and start that sucker up, easy as pie
Now for my pictures:
