Thanks, glad it could help.

Another great vid mate. Great to see those subs increasing too. I like the list thing. When I see your list getting completed makes me realise what a bludger I am. Cachya 😃👍

[@downunderprojects9322]

Thanks mate, Not sure why they are starting to increase. I haven't done anything different. Have you been forcing all your mates to subscribe to me?

[@TropicalZooms]

@@downunderprojects9322 No. I got one to subscribe to you a couple of weeks ago and that’s it. 😃👍

In toyota land we disconnect the fuel lines and remove the whole filter assembly. That way you can work on it in a convenient location and minimal mess.

[@downunderprojects9322]

I had thought of doing that, and probably should have done that but as it turned out it wasn't too bad doing it in situ.

Green Antifreeze. What year is that Yanmar? You use standard like Zerex Valvoline Original Green?

[@paydirt347]

How much more boost can we push through this sucker? Water cooled....40psi?

[@DougTechNews]

I may have missed it, did you open the bleeder valve on the pump?

[@downunderprojects9322]

There's a bleeder valve??? Bahahaha Are you referring to a bleeder valve to drain the filter of fuel prior to removal (to save all the mess) or a valve to bleed air from the system after the filter is changed? If it's the latter then the answer is no, because I just pump like crazy until all fuel lines are full and returning excess fuel and/or air to the tank. If it's the former the answer is still no because I didn't know it exists and I just captured any spills in the tub below. I'm happy to listen to your ideas if it can make the process easier, quicker or cleaner? Thanks for watching. Dave

@@downunderprojects9322 To bleed air from the system when you change the fuel filter on the engine. It is the bolt with the slotted head near the right hose (just above where it says FUEL on the filter at about 9 minutes). You just crack it open and pump until you see fuel only pumping out (no air) and then close it off. You don't need to pump any more than that. It is faster and easier and puts less strain on the pump. It does eject a small amount of fuel, so I can't say it is cleaner, but it is easier :) Yanmar recommends doing it that way too.

[@stuscolnik]

yah, your primary is full of air. got bleed the air. air doesnt go down, it goes up

[@joshuabanwaree2640]

That's 100 % absolutely not the proper procedure regarding fuel filter replacement, luck is on your side 😅

never use a knife

[@downunderprojects9322]

To cut out the old o ring?

[@keithdonald9522]

@@downunderprojects9322 yes if you get an o ring pick its easier and less chance of scratching the sealing surface and no knife in the confined space. Just my opinion and old school training, like getting kick in the bum as an apprentice for using a shifter instead of a ring spanner. Thanks for the video I enjoyed watching.
