chevmeister 09-25-2003, 08:48 PM Heading out to the garage to tackle the fuel filter. how do i prime it. i work my truck every day and i need it to run when im done. got the idea down and know how to change it but dont have the slightest on how to prime. havent taken the fender liner out to look yet but would like to know where to look. dmaxalliTech 09-25-2003, 08:55 PM Easy one. On top of the filter head is a primer button, and just inboard of that is a bleeder screw, 13mm head with a slot for a screwdriver, black plastic, after you get filter installed, crack open the bleeder and prime away, may take 30 pumps to get fuel out of bleeder screw, once you get fuel, tighten and prime another 10 pumps or so until primer gets hard to push, then start, done Eric chevmeister 09-25-2003, 09:03 PM do you have to losten teh 13mm bolt to use teh primer???? i was trying to find anything that moved. dmaxalliTech 09-25-2003, 09:05 PM you can prime with the 13mm tight, but when you loosen it , it will bleed the fuel chevmeister 09-25-2003, 09:08 PM ok dont go anywhere i may be back. gonna head out and take a whack at it. how long should it take? it took 2 hours to change the oil and lube the chassis. 15 mins to work 1:45 for BS right? dmaxalliTech 09-25-2003, 09:10 PM 10 minutes is about what it take me,, I will be here or back shortly, have to give baby a bath yet tonite dmaxalliTech 09-25-2003, 09:12 PM I think a step by step with pics is coming up for a fuel filter change! chevmeister 09-25-2003, 09:19 PM ok thanks eric chevmeister 09-25-2003, 10:01 PM done, and a test drive.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif still smokes the tires so i musta done it right.
