QJ REPLACE FUEL FILTER (diesel en­
gines)
To replace the fuel filter, after having discon­
nected the negative battery lead, proceed as
follows:
- Disconnect the connector (1) for the fuel
supply pipe from the tank from the filter;
- Disconnect the connector (2) for the fuel
supply pipe to the injection pump from the
filter;
- Disconnect the electrical connection (3)
from the fuel pre-heating device sensor;
- Disconnect the electrical connection (4)
supplying the fuel pre-heating device;
- Undo the two nuts fixing the partition be­
tween the passenger and engine compart­
ments and remove the complete fuel filter.
- At the bench, undo the fuel filter (1) with
the seal from the support (2).
When refitting the fuel filter, proceed as fol­
lows:
- lubricate the rubber seal for the cartridge;
- fill the filter cartridge with diesel fuel (in or­
der to shorten the self-bleeding time);
- tighten the cartridge in contact with the
support;
- close the cartridge by 3/4 of a turn (to
achieve a tightening torque of 1.3 - 1.6
P4AMCA02 daNm).
For the 1929 D version, which is equipped with a Lucas pump, this is achieved by means of the num­
bered references on the cartridge. For example, when the cartridge is in contact with the support a mark
must be made on the support corresponding to one of the references on the filter, then the filter must be
tightened counting 6 reference marks after that reference.
