[C320-list] Perkins fuel filter change






There was some discussion on bleeding the fuel system on a Yanmar diesel. 
I'm sure many of you have changed both the primary and secondary fuel 
filters on a Perkins, and I'm going to do this process this weekend and 
would appreciate the steps in doing this. Any help with this would be 
great. Thank you in advance.
