fuel filter change

[mbev51]

hi
how do I change the fuel filter on my 2002 duratorq 100 bhp fwd. I've changed them on other diesels in the past. I've read these ones are often difficult to start. If its neessary how do you bleed them?

Get some grips on the black plastic, twist it left, pour new fuel into the new filter to the top.check which way the filter fits, push it up into the housing, tighten the black plastic ring back. and job done.

My wouldnt start straight away but started it with someone pushing the primer button on top of the filter and started a piece of piss.

Theres 2 types of filter so make sure your get the right on.
Mines a 75hp, so would imagaine your would be the same set up

Good luck
