NOTE: If available, pre-fill new filters, both pressure side and suction side, with clean fuel prior to assembly using
the clean side block-off plug packed with the filter. Do not pour fuel directly in the center of the filter, since this
will allow unfiltered fuel to enter the system and can cause damage to fuel system components.
Use the correct fuel filter. Refer to Procedure 018-024 in Section V.
Lubricate the fuel filter a-ring with clean lubricating oil.
Install the filter on the filter head. Tighten the filter until the gasket contacts the filter head surface.
Tighten the fuel filter an additional 3/4 turn after contact or follow the filter manufacturer’s instructions.
