Marea Changing the fuel filter on a Marea JTD130

Smear a bit of diesel (can get some from the old fuel filter) around the 2 rubber washers. This allows you to tighten the seals up properly. Check the drain plug is fully tightened into the bottom of the filter.

Feed the filter bottom first the same way you removed the old filter. Screw the filter into its housing being very careful not to cross thread. I suggest spinning it a few times clockwise to find the start of the thread before tightening anti-clockwise. The filter should be tight upto the housing. If you have a good grip as tight as you can. If not use a filter wrench or 'boa' type fastener.

Re-connect the wires and pipes. You did mark where each one goes now didn't you?

The filter is now ready to go.
