Volvo Penta Fuel Filter Water Separator - DO IT YOURSELF 

Great, clear, concise video. I appreciate videos like this that don’t drone on and on, turning a five minute explanation into a 30 minute video with tons of irrelevant or repeated content. Thank you for that. Look forward to seeing more of your videos.

We pre load the new filter with new fuel approx 90% of capacity to lessen the air in the system and to aid the fuel pump longevity. Using a mirror will allow you to visualize the condition of the oil filter assembly. Using a clean bucket will allow you to see any contamination in the fuel.

Thanks - nice and easy

what the heck is a "matting surface"? I think you mean "mating surface" ie: where the filter "mates" to the housing.

How do you get out the air? Pump manually with regular filter bleed screw?

I use it on my car

how do you prime the fuel filter before use?

I get it...but OVERKILL 4sure🤦‍♂️🙈

Fuel filters need to be primed first by placing your thumb over the center hole and filling all around in the smaller holes. Oil should be used on the seal which helps in having no friction during installation and helps with with both, sealing and removal. Also all that black crap you're cleaning off of the filter base.... is paint flakes from the paint that VP used on the inside of their fuel pumps. I had to have my fuel pumps thoroughly cleaned along with any paint on the inner walls. In addition, I had to have all my jet's professionally cleaned due to the paint flakes passing thru the fuel rail. East tell s to take a look at your fuel regulator as well. What caused all of this? Regular Gas. It has ethanol which is basically, a paint thinner. It softens the paint giving you this problem. Don't take my word for it..... Check around the internet, you'll see many, many forums regarding this and some YT videos.

Gotta ask ... are you Left-Handed ? Just a thought, on my engines, i store several drops of oil on the end of the dipstick, for just this purpose

No reference to bleeding fuel and air. Shame..
