[C320-list] Filter in Water separator

[Richard Grunt]

I have not personally done this job in the past, but this sounds like a
great solution. I would suggest using a freezer strength bag, and placing a
bag in a bag, because if there is even a microscopic opening petroleum will
find it! I also understand that completely filling the new filter with
diesel before assembly greatly reduces the amount of air that has to be bled
from the line.

Now that is a good solution. I have done the pan and suction method 
but you still have the lift and not drip filter to deal with so this 
might solve the whole problem at once.

thanks
