Title: Anything i should know before i change my fuel filter?
Post by: Cheesetoast on June 24, 2005, 09:56:28 am

been at least 25,000k, not sure when it was done before that, hasn't been done since i got the car.

Any tips? i have a bentley, and plan to replace that return/pre-heat valve, someone mentioned i should replace it, as it's cheap to do at the same time.

if you fill the new filter with clean diesel before you install it it saves a lot of dry cranking of your injection pump.
