NOTE! Do not fill the new fuel filter with fuel prior to
mounting, there is a risk that impurities can be intro-
duced into the system causing operational interrup-
tions or damage.
WARNING! Fuel filter replacement should be
carried out on a cold engine to avoid the risk of
fire caused by fuel spilling onto hot surfaces.

mount the new fuel filter. Tighten the fuel filter ac-
cording to the instructions on the filter.
6. Purge the fuel system in proximity to the fuel fil-
ter, see ”Fuel system, purging”.

proximately 10 minutes to remove any remaining
