Question Stupid Fuel Question?

I've Seen A Thread Before On This, I've Searched And Searched But Now Can't Find It?

Question:
When You Change The Fuel Filter, What Do You Top The Bowl Off With When New Filter Is In? I Know Straight Diesel, But I Though I Heard Diesel Kleen Or Staydyne Was Better?

Thanks,
Rsteeda

I just changed mine and didn't top it off with anything, I just left the key on for a minute or so hit the starter and it fired. The owners manual says that it will purge the remaining air out after few miles. I had no problems after doing this.

You can use any of the above. I just use diesel unless I'm working on a truck that has had some type of fuel related problem, then I use Diesel Kleen.

Ditto that. Every time I change mine this works fine.
