Fuel Filter: Service and Repair

Fuel filter

1 Thoroughly clean the area round the two fuel line connections.

2 Prevent the filter from turning by applying a spanner to the flats on the filter and banjo fitting and disconnect the fuel lines. Remove the filter.

Note: To prevent swarf from the threads from getting into the fuel system, do not remove the fitting on the discharge side.

3 Fit the new filter with the arrow pointing in the direction of flow and reconnect the fuel lines.

Note: If the filter has been fitted the wrong way round it must not be refitted. Fit a new one instead.
