Leave the purge running for a few minutes, if you don't they can be a pig to get going again.

Fill filter before you put back on then do purge

I just put the new one in and let the purge deal with it!

That was what l wanted to know!
I always fill the filter with diesel but it’s a faff to do, and you have to have some diesel handy to do it. So if l can just fit the filter empty and wait for the purge cycle to sort it out then that will be great. |

Don’t do what I’ve seen someone do- pour the fuel out of the old filter into the new one

I don't bother filling it. But does the diesel go from the inside to the outside or from the outside to the inside? Roel
