Fuel filter change HDI

[ben87]

Right all you need for this job is
Fuel filter
Gloves
Rag
Strength

These have to be the best gloves ive ever bought... £1 from Wilkinson they do not tear unlike "professional" glvoes which rip at the slightest bit of wind


Old rag to catch only fuel droplets


Turn 90degrees and it will pop off..be careful as some people have snapped the pipes


If you want to savoir all the fuel then leave it at an angle for a few mins (keep the gold ring safe)


Ensure you have a Peugeot Fuel Filter


Take the old one out - Only bout 10k between the fuel filter change so not that bad


Whilst its out its good to check there are no unwanted residue metallic bits in the system


Then simply ensure it all lines up once new filter is in (filter will fit in 1 way only) and pop top back on with even pressure all over and turn 90degrees back to start

Then crank it over and run for a few mins to ensure any air has escaped

Hope it helps

EDIT: Not sure but i know with XUD's it's important to fill the filler back up with fuel either through priming without the cap on, or pouring fuel in to top it up to ensure to air gets in the fuel system.

Is not the same with HDi's?

Also its a 22mm socket for the nut on the top, don't twist the fuel pipe unions as you will snap them.
Push down as you undo it too to make it easier.

Do not use guttman fiilters, I had one whilst running biodiesel where it cleans the crap out the system and it let little bits of whatever into the hp pump and blocked up the fpr resulting in having to remove and clean it

How does the filter work on the HDi - cant see how it works :S
