Hi All,
Can anyone tell me the correct procedure to change the diesel fuel filter. I notice there is a bleed valve on top of the filter body. I haven't had a diesel with electric fuel pump before and wonder if this bleed valve is to bleed the air out once the filter is changed or to remove the pressure before disconnecting the unions. If it is to bleed the air from the system will this be with ignition on or will it need cranking also?
