This post may illicit a chuckle from some because it's likely very easy but I've simply never done it (and perhaps it belongs in the diesel/24v section, but I get more replies here.
I took my cruiser out today and noticed a strong diesel smell so I went home and upon further inspection I noticed that my fuel filter is dented and squirting from a pinhole ALL OVER THE PLACE! I have no idea how this could have happened but it is what it is.
I've seen a diesel filter replaced once when I was 7-8 years old and I recall a pump primer on top and my dad seeming to fuss about plugging the line so it didn't drain back to the tank... Is it true the engine pulls fuel in and through and there's no pump??
My 1989 HJ61 12-HT has a totally different set up. Basically there is an "in and out" line and the whole assembly mounts to the top of the engine. I ordered an OEM filter replacement from SOR but when it arrives I have no idea what the process is other than wiping diesel on the seals for a proper seal... Any help would be great. I guess I'll need a filter wrench too unless there are other diy options??
