REPLACING THE FUEL FILTER

BD00K081 Clean the area around the filter head. Place a receptacle of a suitable capacity under the filter and remove the filter, using a filter wrench. Apply a thin coat of oil or grease on the new filter seal. NOTE: Do not fill the new filter with fuel before installing. Install the new filter. Turn the filter until the seal comes into contact with the filter head and turn an extra half turn by hand. IMPORTANT: Do not use a filter wrench to install the filter. Overtightening the filter can damage the seal and filter. NOTE: If the engine does not regain full power after replacing the filter, bleed the system.

WARNING: Completely wipe off any spilled fuel after replacing a filter element or bleeding the system.
