Cobrin's 'How To' 2009 MB Fuel filter replacement.


!. Clamp fuel supply line
2. Drain filter housing
3. Remove filter housing
4. Remove filter and seal

5. Replace seal and filter
6. Fit filter housing and remove clamp from supply line


7. Use a large Jar with steel lid, a suitable sized vacuum hose and a shop vacuum to pull fuel from the tank through the system all the way to the fuel return line. When all air bubbles stop flowing, connect the fuel line back and start the engine.


8. Return fuel from the jar back to the tank using the supplied adaptor.


Suitable Jar $6
Suitable hose 50cm $5 or less
Shop vac $30 back when or use an old one


I used to use a bike pump hose on the supply line schrader valve, but it's quicker to do it from one point rather than a couple so the end of the line suits me (before it goes back to the tank).
