I am about to hook up my fuel pressure guage and change my filter. Could someone tell me how to get my fuel filter canister off before I start this? I like to be pepared and educated before starting my projects. Yeah I am that guy that reads the instructions beforehand.
Thanks in advance

 

once the fuel is drained out of the housing (yellow handle) then simply use a 1 1/8" wrench and loosen the cap and spin it off.. The filter is held in by clips on the top of the filter and pops off with a little persuation. Make sure to replace the o-ring when you do this and let the truck cycle the fuel pump a few times before you start it and wwwaaaalaaaaa! You are done... now just insert whatever you have to do to install your pressure gauge and you are done and smelling like fuel.... give the wife a kiss and call it a night!!

 

Underwood, thanks for the help, I know it was a simple question but knowin my luck it would have took me till midnight to get the dern filter out. Oh and about kissin the wife goodnight, Ill have to pass on that, no wife. How you think I can afford this truck and bomb it. Come on man get your priorities striaght.

 

mine is bombed and I have a wife but the secret is no kids!! and I even have a 5 stall garage to boot!! and no I am not rich nobody gave me anything, I have earned it on my own and I am only 25.

 

I hear ya on the kids too. I aint but 22 with one more semester of college. Same here on the workin for it I had my first truck (superduty) paid for before I went to college. So far I got the chip and a few other odds and ins but as soon as I graduate this truck is definately gettin a turbo, clutch, fass, cp3 and injectors. Get back with me after graduation, I maynot have a wife by then but I am shootin for the 5 bay shop.

 

Superduty before college and dodge ram after college, at least your education is paying off

Sounds like his Priorities are in line too, lmao.

 

I have had my share of women come and go, but I must say my truck aint let me down yet. Give me the sound of a turbo diesel and a good dog and who needs women, talk about expensive pets, I spent more on my last girlfriend than I did my dog and dodge combined.

 

you know that's a funny thing.. I was talking to the wife today about my tractor that I'm working on and she still wants me to get rid of it.. (her blood runs green mine runs red) I told her I have a better investment in my tractor then her since I will get my money back from what I have invested in the tractor and the money and time I have invested in her I will never get back...

 

Better be nice, or she isn't gonna give you any tonight..LOL.

 

Being married long term is like owning a cherry classic ride for years.Its been PARKED a long time and have no desire to drive it any more.

 

I second that comment!!! but I have only been married for 6 months.

 

My cherry classic ride must be different than your. I've been married for a long time and I look forward to driving it all the time. And it has never been PARKED.

 

I've PARKED lots of them over the years! Will HOPEFULLY test drive and park more before its over!

 

how tight is tight? Is there a TQ spec on the plastic cap?
