Rabbithunter 456 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Are these easy to change? I know its just unscrew the top of the holder & swap the filters, but do you have to cut off the supply, bleed it? Pump it back through somehow? cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest baldie Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Fill the new filter with clean diesel before screwing on. A lot of engines also have a manual pump, located on the top, or very near the filter, give this a few presses if it has one, when all is secured, turn the engine over, and rev the bugger, dont let it die, because if their is air in the line, it will try to, if your revving it hard, it will pull it through.

When you say "manual pump" do you mean the re-priming pump? the van has one of these. Lets hope i get a few more MPG after changing this..... Oil filter & Oil Change comign shortly. I hate giving money to mechanic's if i can do it myself Quote Link to post Share on other sites
