• Fill the new filter element with clean fuel (4)
• Lubricate the sealing ring lightly with en‑
gine oil (5)
• Screw on the new filter element in the di‑
rection indicated. When the sealing ring
touches the sealing surface (6), tighten the

Bleeding:
Most current engines are self‑bleeding. If this is
not the case, you will have to bleed the system
yourself, after draining water or replacing the
filter element.
When the fuel supply pump is fitted in front of
the water separator/fuel filter, the system can
be bled via the hexagon bolt on the top of the
filter.
