fuel filter change

Silver Bullet · Oct 17, 2018

I am close to changing my fuel filter out for the 2nd time. The first time it dripped a lot of fuel before I could get it back together.

Any suggestions on how to change it with minimal fuel loss (mess)?

Big pan underneath to catch everything is my strategy.

LOL...got a metal bucket, a large drip pan, and newspaper on standby!

I agree, definitely makes a mess. Keeps on dripping while you yank the cartridge out and replace it.

I was thinking about buying a second housing, so I only had to swap the small o-ring and have the filter ready to put on quickly.

Just called my local dealer...$59 for the housing. I was hoping it was going to $20. Need to get the part number to see if I can find it online cheaper.

Are you sure that wasn’t for the complete housing? I bought just the bottom part that unscrews, where the cartridge sets in, for 12 bucks. I broke mine, LOL...

I just asked for the housing. Do you have the part number?

I’ll see if I can find it.

Doesn’t look like I took a picture of the part number anywhere. Definitely just bought the filter bowl though, I did make a note of it that it was nine dollars.

holmestransfer - That is OK...don't worry about it. I stopped by the dealer on the way home and it was $13 + $12 if I also wanted the drain plug. I don't know what the guy on the phone was quoting me!
