Engine Fuel Filter Replacement
The fuel filter shall be replaced while the engine is cold.
WARNING!
Fire hazard. When carrying out work on the fuel system
make sure the engine is cold. A fuel spill onto a hot
surface or an electrical component can cause a fire.
Store fuel soaked rags so that they cannot cause fire.
Do not fill the new fuel filter with fuel before assembly.
There is a risk that contamination could get into the
system and cause malfunctions or damage.

2 Remove the filter with a suitable filter remover.
Collect any spilled fuel in a collection vessel.
3 Clean the filter mating surface on the filter bracket.
4 Lubricate the seal with diesel fuel and install the
new fuel filter. Tighten the fuel filter in accordance
with the instructions on the fuel filter.
5 Where necessary, bleed the fuel system; refer to
Fuel system, bleeding, page 88
6 If a water trap is installed, change the filter in it at
the same time as the fuel filter, and clean the water
trap in the plastic bowl under the filter with a soft
rag.
