Fuel Filter on ZD30
Well after much thought and reflection.... lol a lot of that... I managed to pluck up the courage to change my fuel filter on my ZD30 Patrol... Well what a drama... firstly the old one was a bit$h to get off... ended up hammering a long thick screw driver thru it... Then changed out the bottom sensor and found all this jelly like brownish gunk in the old fuel filter...
Filled up the new one.... refitted and I could not for the life of me get it to pump up with diesel.... got a mate to have a look and he couldn't work it out either... so I started the Patrol thinking maybe just maybe it will just work.... No No No!!!... so looking under the bonnet and getting that sinking feeling in my tummy.... I thought (looking at my primer) that looks loose... so I tightened up the little screw on the plunger and pumped 7 times and what would know..... it primed up.... I started the Patrol.... and wow I did it... lol...:victory:

Gotta love it when things work out in the end! Success. And now you're more confident at changing over the filter.

Never! I use that method, or similar everytime. Old screwdriver and hammer and tap around the rim of the filter. Quicker that trying to fit a filter removing tool there.

No filter beats a screwdriver and a whollop with a hammer.

Nice work! I changed mine last weekend and found it full of gunk as well. Replaced all the filters, it feels a lot better with a new set of lungs!

Well done!! Hahaha. It's a good feeling to change out a dirty bastard for a new one and get it all cleaned up nicely.
Good work on tightening the screw on the primer
