Default Anyone know this fuel filter?

How easy is filter replacement? (See my reply to Wayne)

Can the sediment bowl be removed with very difficult top access?

Anything else I should know about it?


The filter element is easy to change as you release the band at the top and
the cover pops off.
Change the two O rings and set the filter on the stub on the top. There is a
drain at the bottom
of the bowl, but to actually clean the owl, it has to be removed from the
mounting bracket and
undo the four screws and it comes off. I did that when we first go the boat.
At filter change
times, I drain the bowl into a plastic jug. I have added an electric fuel
pump to bleed the system
after filter changes. It is not normally used except for this, but is there
in case the engine
mounted mechanical pump fails.
