tdci fuel filter

[cambium]

Ok guys which pipe is which and which do i fill it through ............?............laugh at leisure but gotta start somewhere

[liteace]

Smaller pipe is return, the arrow pointing in towards the pipe is the IN,

the arrow pointing out, away from the pipe is the out, fill the IN

I would throw that in the bin and go get a bosch or delphi filter, tdci's dont like cheap filters, for the extra 15 quid for a quality filter you could be saving £££££££ later

What I would like to ask is, what is the best method of getting diesel in that filter without getting it all over my hands the the floor?

Go to your local pound shop go in to kitchen section and they do small funnels try them

Best bet is to throw the fujitoyo filter back at the parts guy , they are truly shite

As for filling , a syringe and bit if tube works well , leave the pipes off and keep syringing it in until its to the top , the kids medicine syringes are a bit small but do fit into the union snuggly , a good amount of kitchen roll around the top will soak up any spills

don't be like a duck's arse in water tight buy a gengine one mk's sence

Agreed, i use only genuine filters on my connect, firstly because i get a good discount from my ford dealer and secondly i like the piece of mind its been serviced with genuine parts.

A funnel or syringe that makes sense. I have got one of those in-line hand pumps and am going to change my filter in a minute. So, if you use the hand pump method do you still have to fill the new filter with diesel, or prime it with the pump? The pump as I understand fits between the inlet pipe and the inlet on the filter so this would fill the new filter for me wouldn't it?

[liteace]

If you have the pump then no you dont have to fill the filter with diesel, just pump it through and your done

Do you have any recommendation on what hand pump would fit straight into ford fuel lines please?

I bought one of these:Draper Expert 43986 I haven't used it yet, but it was advice from this forum that suggested it.
