I have worked on diesels most of my life and prefer the spin fuel filters for obvious ease of use. If you fill the canister 2/3 full with diesel, before you insert the filter, carefully pushing it in slowly, allowing air to escape, avoiding diesel spray coming out, you will almost eliminate all fuel knock from air in the lines in just a few minutes. This also saves the fuel pump from pumping dry, damaging the seals. The rest of your presentation was straight forward, simple easy instructions for the novice and I enjoyed seeing how you did things. Even an old dog like me, learns a trick everyday, to keep growing and to stay flexible.

Planning to change my lift pump and fuel filter tomorrow and was going to fill up the canister with diesel before putting the new filter in. In any case of no start after bumping it, how would you bleed the air out? Cracking injectors? I have a 98 24v manual and I believe my vp44 has the valve to bleed it as well.

Well done and thanks for the video. I found it to be informative and concise. All the info you need, no b.s. you don't need. I hate it when people try to include all manner of extraneous info into a video on a simple subject, which you didn't do and I thank you for that.

Well done video. I noticed that when you were trying to remove the rag you hand your hand routed to keep it out of the camera frame, the you moved the camera. Well done with that. It shows that you were making an effort to maintain a view with the camera, while working in a tight space. Thank you for the video and your efforts in making it.

I've done this on my '97 12 valve numerous times and I always check KZread for a refresher. This was perfect! My difficulty has always been snaking the fuel filter housing out of the engine compartment, and then lining up the threads on the bolt for re-install. But it always seems to work. I'm not a fan of ford diesels but brother-in-law has a 94 with a simple twist off fuel filter on the tippy top of the engine. So easy by comparison!

Hey bud thanks for posting a simple accurate and helpful video. Great job man.

Great video, excellent voice to items being discussed.

helped me whip right through the first filter change on my 97-98..thanks

Great video! Thanks for sharing this with us. It just makes everything so much easier!!

Great video. Easy to follow. I was actually trying to figure out priming procedures for 98 12 valve. I was trying to figure out why my fuel gauge wasn't working and unscrewed the lid on the top of the tank. That introduced air into the system and the truck wouldn't turn over. I'd say it took about 250 pumps after loosening the stud on the overflow valve. I only wish you'd given a wider shot of where the overflow valve was located, but I figured it out. It still took cranking it 4 or 5 times before it started. 2.5 feet 1 inch OD steel pipe did a great job of letting me pump the primer and still watch the bubbles coming out of overflow valve.

Thank you so much. Really DO appreciate this knowledge. I'll be followin. Again....THANK YOU.

Gracias I used your video and everything came up good, I also had to pump it 100 time to get good result.

He has a good point on making sure the lip on canister lines up with notch on top of fuel canister. Somebody did mine and did not align it and broke off lip that holds the valve when tighten it and had no valve handle or lip and you cannot buy the fuel canister new any where and hard to find one used.

Thank you so much!! Managed to do this by myself

Good video man!

This video helped me tremendously. Although I was able to take it out by master cylinder.

Didn't know if could come out in front of the injector pump. I've always dropped mine past the starter (kind of a pain). Thanks!

Thank you young fella

Changed mine on my 1st gen. Filled the new filter with fuel before installing but still got enough air in the system that it quit running about 10 minutes after startup so cracked all the injector lines loose and cranked till fuel came out, retightened and good to go.

Partially fill up the fuel filter canister would have made it so much easier

pia, genos diesel parts sells conversions.. great vid.😊

Thanks, well done!

When I replaced My filter I just used the primer on the lift pump until fuel came out of the top of the filter housing. Half a crank and fired right up.

Very good!

i miss the spin on filter from my first gen.

Nice video thanks

Well done thanks

Thanks mate.

Great video. Does anyone know the part number of the filter? It doesnt look like the one I bought and just got a 5.9C 12V.

great , im Cummins fan ..

By any chance do you have the part number for the fuel filter?

What is the other electrical plug in the harness beside the FSS plug and water in fuel sensor?

Thanks for the simple Tec tips, Just got a new 98 12v lol.

is there a way to bleed it w the electric fuel pump? if you left it slightly loose, turn key on so pump runs, and fuel topped up the fuel?

I took the bleed screw out, and literally pumped the button like 4 times

Hey boss- would this help remedy an occasional “white smoke” issue under acceleration? Smoke smells of raw diesel and I’m trying to figure out if I need a new filter or new injectors. Likely will end up replacing both anyhow. Many thanks in advance!

FilterBarn.com, usually the best price on filters and orders over $100 give you free shipping.

Fww things you could do better. Fill the fuel filter housing with fuel before installing it and crack a line to release air before trying to run it. Not good for injectors to just idle up and run the air through them. But otherwise good vid

Mine lever is gone too

Ight maybe someone here can help. I have a 97 12v and let's just say it's seen better days the owner before had no clue what he was doing to fix it. Well it's running and has been for a year or 2 and I've been fixing what I can little by little. About a week ago I was coming home and it drove perfect. I stopped to grab something to eat and when I went to start it, and no fire, it turned and turned and turned but still no fire... I gave it a few shots of carb cleaner and still no fire, I know I know carb cleaner isn't smart but I needed to get the truck started and get home, I was about 2 hours away from home. I've tried priming it using the lift pump prime button, I even cracked the bleeder nuts and diesel shot out, but after I closed the nuts and kept pumping nothing would come out of the injector lines... After I finally got home and did all that to my truck I tried again and again and again and still no fire... Y'all have any ideas on what it could possibly be, I'm completely lost on what's wrong...
