[Focaluck]

Hey guys,

Just servicing the rig and am at a loss as to priming the fuel filter on the 2.8..
Can anyone give me a quick rundown on what the go is?? And where the bleeding point is (havent played with deisels before)

Cheers..

i'm just about to change my fuel filter on my 2.8GU aswell. what brand did you use and / or what brand do you recommend? I have used ryco oil filters before

I'm pretty sure Ryco do fuel filters too. RYCO

They aren't one of the biggest for no reason. Stick with them if you haven't had any gripes with their other products.

I use Fleet Guard wherever I can as thay are the "No1" choice in the transport industry & ppl who own trucks don't tend to muck about when it comes to that sort of thing.

where do you get them and what price are they

where do you get them and what price are they

Anywhere trucks are serviced or truck parts suppliers stock them as a rule & thay are generally more expensive than say ryco but not by much.

The thing to be mindful of is the filters ppm (parts per million) ratio the higher the number normally means the better the filter but quality of materials also come into play so no matter what you by stick with a brand name product & buy the filter with the highest ppm available in its range

I hope this helps
