Replacing cartridge fuel filter

Change diesel filter every 15,000 km. Proceed as follows to change:

- lubricate rubber cartridge seal,

- fill filter cartridge with diesel (in order to reduce self-bleeding period),

- tighten cartridge until it touches the mount,

- tighten cartridge by 6/8 turn (to obtain torque of 1.3 - 1.6 daNm).

This is achieved using numbered notches engraved on the cartridge. For example when the cartridge is

moved into contact with the mount, make a mark on the mount against one of the notches engraved on

the filter. Then tighten filter through 6 further notches after the reference notch.
