Removal Procedure
- Remove fuel tank filler cap.
- Open air bleed valve (2) on top of the fuel
manager/filter (3) to release any pressure in the fuel supply system.
- Remove element nut (1) by turning it in a counterclockwise direction.
If unable to turn by hand, a strap wrench (oil filter type) may be used to
break loose the element nut.
- Remove the filter (3) by lifting it straight up and out of the
filter assembly (4). It is not necessary to drain fuel from the filter assembly
to change the filter element since the fuel will remain in the filter assembly's
(4) cavity.
Installation Procedure
Important: Make sure the mating surface between the element assembly (3) and the
filter assembly (4) is clean before installation.
- Install the new filter (3) by aligning the
widest key slot located under the element assembly cap with the widest key
in the header assembly.
- Push the element (3), in a downwards direction until the mating
surfaces make contact.
- Install the element nut (1).
Tighten
Tighten the element nut (1) securely by hand.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
