I turned to face Corey. I already nailed our first diesel project? You must remember this every time you replace your filters: After you have both new filters properly installed, you need to prime the fuel system and bleed out any air.
To do that, turn the ignition to the Run position three separate times—for 30 seconds each time. I committed that warning to memory for next time and hopped into the cab to prime the system.
A couple of minutes later, I started her up. When he got back, I made my way over for the final verdict. How to Replace Fuel Filters in 6. Read on. Alright, off we go. Maybe I can swing this little diesel project after all. Down to Business With my tools and supplies at the ready, I popped the hood and Corey put me to work. On the side of the fuel pump, locate the allen plug—the small, brass plug. Using the 6mm allen wrench, remove the allen plug.
Keep looking, it is there. It seems easiest to access the tube from below the vehicle. Move the lever clockwise 90 degrees to begin draining the fuel filter housing. Watch the level of the container, as you're going to drain roughly 2 pints of fuel; you may need to close the valve, empty your container, then resume to keep it from spilling over.
A screwdriver placed across the filter lid is the correct procedure for tightening and loosening the cap. Set the filter on a rag for transportation, as it will drip fuel. I keep hearing conflicting opinions on how many fuel filters there are I would like to speak to someone in the service department at the dealer but you know how that goes Anybody have a concrete answer on how many fuel filters?
Re: How many fuel filters on a 03 E 7. I'm pretty sure there is just the one on the 7. The 6. Ah this one is fresh in my mind There is 1 "Fuel Filter" on the top of the engine. Then there are 4 other "screens".
On the side of the Fuel Filter bowl there is a pressure regulator that has a mesh screen clean this when changing the filter In the fuel tank there is a mesh screen on the bottom of the pickup tube.
Also in the fuel tank pickup there is a mixing chamber that has 2 mesh screen inside bloody stupid idea IMHO. I have already got rid of the in tank screens on the ambulance conversion as one dose of crappy fuel will cripple the vehicle and it is not a trail repair situation.
Hopefully I will remember to take some photos and make put up a thread for later reference. In fuel tank mixing chamber screens. Fuel pickup modification showing the pickup umbrella but not the actual screen. After pulling the mixing screens I put this temporary filter in before the lift pump. On and off road adventures.
