However, the following operations are valid for all applications. Unscrew the filter cartridge using a filter wrench. Carefully remove the filter cartridge, allowing any fuel to collect in a clean container. Collect any remaining fuel inside the filtering cartridge.
Check the filtering elements by removing the cover and removing the cartridges (2). 1
Clean the gasket seat on the filter head and apply a light coating of clean oil to the seal at the top of the new filter cartridge. DO NOT PRE-FILL the new filter.
