[C320-list] A question on the Yanmar Seconday Fuel Filter

[John Van Vessem]

Ken,

You are not pushing all the way down.  The spring on the pump is very strong, the movement you are feeling is free play, push down hard.

Subject: [C320-list] A question on the Yanmar Seconday Fuel Filter


I finally got around to changing the secondary fuel filter on my Yanmar. But 
I have encountered one problem, I don't seem to be able to bleed the air out 
with the lift pump. I loosened the bleed screw on the top of the fuel filter 
housing and pushed the lever many many many times but nothing exited the 
bleed screw. A friend told me to move the drive shaft and try again which I 
did but still nothing. When I replaced the filter the housing had fuel in it 
but I know that there is still air at the top of that filter. Maybe I am 
missing something. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ken Danko
