@philipthirlwall4474 this is the custom.. think I mentioned connect by mistake..

@@GartyLimb just to let you know. You don't have to remove the fuel lines.. just be aware even after draining the fuel out of the drain plug.. there will still be a fair amount of fuel left in the filter housing.. just make sure not to leave the ignition on when changing the filter..

@@MK3-ln2wf no worries.. You don't really need to remove the fuel lines from the filter.. just make sure you don't turn on the ignition while doing the filter..

I don't deal with diesel every day.. so there is no risk to my hands. And using rubber gloves are more of a hindrance.

I will do an update when the same vehicle comes in for its next major service..

Washing up liquid first, then a good hand wash or cleaner.. But im not normal, so i just use shower gel when having a shower, as i love the smell of diesel.. and it leaves a slight hint on my hands

Its what i had previously seen done in other videos.. It did make me wonder why? Considering you're only removing the fiiter bowl/housing , which doesn't affect the fuel lines,but done it anyway. But after carrying out a full service on the very same vehicle late last year, i left the fuel lines attached. I will do an updated video once i get the chance..

@Artful Bodger..! Thanks. I have asked haynes, and they said because you can't drain fuel. But I changed the fuel filter last year without touching the fuel line and had np at all.

@Paul I think it was something to do with allowing air in through the top so the fuel can run out of the drain hole quicker.. Ive changed countless filters on all manner of vehicles and unless its an inline canister filter, i don't bother removing the fuel lines.. No matter how much you try and drain out, you still get soaked when removing the housing..

Thanks mate.. It'll be a slow process, especially now the weather is on the turn and having to work outside means I'm dependent on good dry weather.. ive ordered a gasket and seal set for the gearbox, so hopefully I'll do a video of that..

Yeah that’s the only trouble with the winter months, I’ll keep me eyes peeled for the next vid 👌🏼👍🏻

Really!.. i deliver dangerous chemicals for a living, a bit of diesel isn't gonna cause no harm.. especially once the hands have been washed after..

I don't understand why would you have to disconnect fuel line? Just drain diesel of filter unscrew and put a new one?

@@897aa33 I totally agree. I watched someone do the process on you tube. Afterwards I thought exactly the same thing, but by then the damage was done! 👍

@Andy I asked haynes, and they said because you can't drain fuel, but I changed the diesel filter a while ago without touching fuel line and had np at all.

Glad you like the video.. The white clips aren't hard to replace.. although getting them might be a pain.. as i don't think for sell them separately?.. Ebay might be worth a try though..

Had same problem. Go to Ford. OEM 1802821

Sorry to hear about that.. Its not the best place for a fuel filter.. Most manufacturers put it in the engine bay.. But for ease of access.. i guess thats why they placed it underneath..

Thanks mate.. Certainly will make and upload more vids.. Although i don't think my editing skills will improve though...

You're the one who found that capri by the canal ain't you?.. ive heard a fair bit about you and your car..

Been butchered the dash shame

@@jerrysummers5971 just the front facia panel.. ive got a spare uncut one in the garage, so that will be used at a later date.

I would do some research mate regarding the sunroof as I thought most of the S Capri's had slide and tilt ,might be rare non spec one possibly ? I also owned quite a few Capri's back in the 80,s all 3.0 cars and a 2.8 , but your car brought good memories back as I had a MK2 3.0 S in Stratos silver with black vinyl roof and Ghia wheels swapped for 2.8 pepperpots in 1985 Reg no SHH333R happy days I loved those cars and its never left me , good luck mate 👍

Would have been more ideal to use a 6 point socket, rather than a 12 point that i was using.. I've had to use all many of tools to get those filters off before.. due to being left on for so long, they more or less weld themselves to the main filter housing body..
