fuel filter change

[arryhi11]

hi might be a stupid question but when you change the fuel filter do you need to fill it with fuel before you put it on or just whack it on and crank her up

[itchyfeet]

Whack it on
Assuming you have fuel in the float chamber it should start and then pull fuel through

hi itchyfeet thanks for reply will just do that then cheers

[itchyfeet]

There is an arrow on it for fuel flow direction also

Fuel filter? Petrol then WHS^^^^^^^^^ but if Diesel then you certainly want to fill it to the brim with diesel fuel when fitting otherwise you'll end up flattening the battery trying to start it.
