1000 series » How to renew the canister of the quick release fuel filter

1. Thoroughly clean the outside surfaces of the filter assembly.
2. Loosen the drain device (A4) , if one is fitted, at the bottom of the canister and allow the water/fuel to drain into a suitable container.

Note: If the filter does not have a drain device fitted release the cap (A1) on top of the filter head. Remove the nylon insert to lower the level of the fuel in the filter canister. This will prevent fuel spill when the clamp ring is released.

3. Unscrew the sediment bowl at the bottom of the canister, if one is fitted.
4. Support the filter canister and rotate the clamp ring (A2) to the left, see the direction arrow, and remove the clamp ring.
5. Remove the canister from the filter head by a direct pull downwards, and discard the old canister (A3). Retain the clamp ring.
6. Ensure the filter head is clean and that the seals (A5) and (A6) are in good condition or renew them. Align the spline (A8) with the groove in the filter head and push the new canister fully into the filter head.
7. Support the canister, fit the clamp ring (A7) and rotate it to the right, see the direction arrow, to fasten the canister to the filter head.
8. If a sediment bowl is fitted, remove the bowl and thoroughly clean the cover of the bowl.
9. Check the two ’O’ ring seals of the sediment bowl for damage and renew if necessary.
10. Clean the threads of the sediment bowl and fit the bowl to the canister and tighten by hand only.
11. If it was removed, fit the nylon insert used to lower the level of the fuel in the filter canister and fasten the cap.
12. Eliminate the air from the fuel system.
