What you will need: Flat head screwdriver, zip tie, rag(s), also hose clamps would be helpful but not necessary.
Changing the fuel filter is not hard at all and can be easily done in 1 hour or less the first time.
1. Disconnect the plugs and hoses circled on the picture
2. You can zip tie the two hoses off to the side so they wouldn’t be in my way when removing the filter or let them hang loose.
3. Disconnect the water sensor on the bottom of the fuel filter.
4. Twist the fuel filter in order to remove it. Righty tighty, lefty loosey.
5. Unscrew the drain valve from the filter that connects to the water sensor plug and screw it on to the new filter. Be careful not to break the thing.
6. Lubricate the rubber grommet of the filter before you install it. You can use a little vaseline.
7. Install the filter and
tighten approx 1/4 to 1/2 turn then connect all hoses and plugs.
8. Now use the manual pump that’s on top of the fuel filter assembly to get the air out of the system. Pump a couple of times and then open the bleeding screw for a short amount of time. Do this until there is a steady stream of fuel with no indication of air bubbles. I would recommend towels or drain hose to prevent fuel from being pumped onto top of engine.
