Fuel Filter install
When I go to open the water sep.(not the water drain, where the filter element is located) is fuel going to be pouring out if it?
Anyone have problems with start up after they have done the fuel filter.
I have the info on how to do it from the Tech. Folder.
I have done fuel filters before but never on a diesel.
Thanks.

Prepare for some to pour out, but not gallons. Use the aluminum foil trick to channel the spillage AND to keep everything (cap and new filter) clean when being re-installed. I have an oil drain pan under it all and the aluminum foil directs it to the drain pan. Use the "key-on" procedure to purge the air out before restart.

I always wear safety goggles when changing the fuel filter underneath the truck. Don't want that stuff in your eyeballs.

Maybe not.
