    Good job, saved a lot, nice to diy. It's also important to use good quality fuel, I found that shell v-power gives great performance and the fuel lasts longer, it also contains the right cleaners. When I put BP , the fuel does not last long. Every now and again I make sure I put a tank of shell, although I do use other petrol companies. I have a Suzuki swift 1.5gls 2010

    When you removed the first hose and clip, why not use the cap from the new fuel filter and quickly put it on the old fuel filter to keep the fuel from coming out and attach the hose to the new fuel filter before removing the second hose? That saves you from needing a second person.

    Never because that was a petrol car not a diesel, diesel fuel filter are usually in the engine bay and will need priming after it has been changed otherwise you will air lock the fuel system I recommend going to a garage to have it done But it is usually changed every service, so 10.000 to 12.000 miles or every year
