Prepare New Fuel Filter

fuel but just be careful so we've got our new nap a gold filter and we've got our old filter our old filter just kind of sets in there and I'll show you we pull it out just like so just card it there's also an o-ring that goes all the way around here and you can either take your fingernail and get it out I don't recommend a screwdriver or you can use an o-ring tool but it just pulls right off replace that oh ring it will be brittle it will be stretched out of shape now I don't know if you noticed or not but there is a tube that goes up through where the fuel filter goes in that tube is what this slides down on so this portion right here simply clamps right on just like so and by this time you've got plenty of diesel fuel on your fingers so take your diesel fuel that's on your fingers and kind of coat that oring really well if you need a little more diesel fuel I'm doing it pretty clean then get you some more diesel fuel then lay that guy that o-ring right in there don't overstretch it don't be a gorilla just be gentle roll it right over into its position let me tell you what happened when we first bought our truck and this happened at the dealership I was driving down the road and I looked back and I saw a trail of fuel on us all my fuel gauge is going going down they did not install the filter properly they cross threaded it they twisted up the o-ring and consequently I lost about a half a tank of fuel out on the road not cool let's put this guy back in now remember guys
