To replace the filter on diesels, use an oil filter type strap wrench to loosen the filter, then unscrew it. To install the new filter, coat the O-ring with clean diesel fuel and spin the new filter into place until it contacts the mounting base, then turn it 1⁄2 additional turn. Loosen the vent screw and bleed any air using the priming pump.
