Based on the provided video snippet, you change your fuel manager filter by first undoing the top collar, then pulling away the pre-filter from the mount. Slide the pre-filter back onto the housing, and reattach the locking collar to the top.
Here's a slightly more detailed breakdown, assuming a typical Fuel Manager diesel pre-filter system (always consult your vehicle's manual for specific instructions):
- Locate the Fuel Manager Filter: This is typically found in the engine bay, often near the fuel tank.
- Loosen the Top Collar: Identify and carefully loosen the top collar or retaining mechanism securing the filter to the housing. Be mindful of any fuel spillage.
- Remove the Old Filter: Once the collar is loose, gently pull the old pre-filter away from the mount. Have a container ready to catch any spilled fuel.
- Prepare the New Filter: Lightly lubricate the rubber seal of the new filter with clean diesel fuel or petroleum jelly.
- Install the New Filter: Slide the new filter back onto the housing, ensuring it's properly seated.
- Secure the Collar: Reattach the locking collar to the top of the filter housing and tighten it securely.
- Prime the System (If Necessary): Some systems may require priming after a filter change. Refer to your vehicle's manual for specific priming instructions. This might involve using a hand pump or turning the ignition to the "on" position several times.
- Check for Leaks: Start the engine and inspect the filter housing and connections for any fuel leaks. Tighten the collar further if necessary, but avoid over-tightening.
Important Considerations:
- Safety First: Work in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate safety glasses and gloves. Diesel fuel is flammable.
- Consult Your Manual: Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or the filter manufacturer's instructions for specific guidance on changing the fuel filter.
- Dispose of the Old Filter Properly: Used fuel filters contain contaminants and should be disposed of according to local regulations.
- Priming: Failure to prime the system correctly can lead to starting problems and potential damage to the fuel pump.
