DieselSite Filter Change

I have a 2016 Powerstroke with a Diesel Site filter installed. Last time I changed them, I could not get the siphon to break from the fuel tank and it made a huge mess. How can I avoid this? Also, at what intervals are y'all changing the the filters at? Any anecdotes from saved fuel systems? Thank you!

break the seal on the rail mounted OEM filter bowl. I had one on my 2011, and never had this problem though.

I change my OEM filters every third oil change which usually happens by the Ford manual listed change interval of 22.5k miles. I only use the factory Motorcraft set of filters, part #FD-4615.

I also watch the fuel pressure coming from my DFCM ( diesel fuel conditioning module or the primary pump/primary fuel filter/water separator) at the HPFP with my Banks iDash 1.8.

You have to unscrew the cap/bowl three full turns then drain.

15K is what I would recommend for the interval. Closer to 10K if you get a lot of bio or have concerns of bad fuel.
