1.
Shut off the fuel on the tank side of the filter. This may require the fuel tap be turned off or that
the fuel system, wing tanks and header tanks be drained (where equipped). Alternatively fuel line
clamps (Figure 31) may be used to close the fuel lines so that the filter can be changed without
fuel leakage.
2.
Place a cloth beneath the filter to collect any fuel which may be split during removal of the filter.
3.
Disconnect the fuel lines at both ends of the filter.
4.
Remove filter.

WARNING
Ensure tank vents are open (no vent covers fitted).
