Changing the fuel filter
Only proceed with the engine stopped and at a low temperature
Remove the filter by unscrewing it.
Check that the new filter has
performance levels that satisfy the
needs of the engine (e.g. by
comparing them with the old one.
See section on FREQUENCY).
Damp the new filter seal with diesel
or engine oil.
Hand screw the new filter into
place until the seal gasket touches
the support, then lock by a further
3/4 of a turn.

WARNING
Do not fill up the new filter before fitting it to the support, to avoid
introducing harmful impurities into the injection system and circuit.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to bleed in any way, as this is
unnecessary and extremely dangerous, and also, if the
high pressure circuit connectors are loosened there will
be negative effects on start-up of the engine.
