1986 Chevy CUCV 6.2l Diesel Fuel Filter Conversion 

quick tip: fill the filter with fuel before putting it on so the pump won't have to fill it before it can reach the engine.

you guys should disconnected the pink wire on i.p. and NOT hooked up the hose suction side of the i.p. until fuel came out of the napa base cranking it(also 8 glows disconnected if on the OEM card still) .... THEN hook up suction hose to i.p. and reconnect pink wire it would have fired right up yall cranked for a whole minute on that starter thru the high point air bubbles in the new filter base bleeding air while letting air goto to i.p. Just went through it draining 'H2o' from the stock base. I forgot to reprime the base thru the top vent. If you prime the base via top vent (w pink wire pulled on the i.p.) beforehand they fire right TF up! Prime the base by cranking w/o the hose hooked up and i.p. off!

thank you for the video i ended up doing the same thing changing out the stock filter and replaced it a racor 645 fuel filter assembly with the water separator including the clear fuel bowl that's under the filter diaphram and so far its been working excellent i had the same problem last winter the engine would start and cut out after 10 seconds

Everyone read this filter it's not meant for installation of diesel engines, that modification can cause a serious explosion injury or death.

Please get a video on electrical especially those connecting to and from the solenoid and battery. Thanks just acquired a cucv M1010 1985

I'll get u the part numbers soon, but as far as the lines go it's pretty easy since the factory fuel filter housing has "inlet" marked on one of the fuel line ports

Fill the filter with transmission fluid before installing

how's the truck running with the upgraded filter today

On the drain line, did you plug it off or leave it wide open?

Can you please show me how the fuel lines get connected, which fuel line goes where I have the same filter. And did you put a electric fuel pump or is it still a manual fuel pump ?

I wonder about the chalk numbers on the firewall. Yours is 44 and I have 451 with a 1985 M1008.

what did you do with the electrical bits on the filter housing? thanks for documenting, just inherited a 6.2l '86.

what did you do with the return line

What about the drain Hose What did you do to it?

where did you get the bracket with the gage?

Disconnect high pressure pump while bleeding 😂

Where did you get this fuel filter set, with the bracket and gauge? By turning that screw were you bleeding the air out of the system that way or did you just have to crank until it was gone

Where can I get one of those mounting base with the guage?

does it matter which racor assembly is used? i'm having the problem of hard starts after sitting for a while. looking at this brand to replace stock square filter assembly

what did you do with the wires from the stock housing?

What did you do with the sensor and wires? Not needed????/

Whats the ideal psi?

Thats an oil filter isnt it....alot of other conversion videos people are using #3123 fuel filter from Napa how is the one your using filtering fuel.....dont know much about my truck response would help.Thanks!

PEARL JAM! Oh and thanks for the video ha ha

What did you do with the third hose??? On mine I got 3 hoses on the filter
