[C320-list] Fuel Filter

[Paul Rickman]

Yes, there is a fuel shut off on top of the fuel tank. Make sure you use it. Otherwise, your bilge will
fill up with fuel. 

The filter on the engine -- I use a screw driver and hit it lightly until the housing turns and then finish
by hand. There are ridges that the driver can fit into.

The bigger filter is a spin on spin off. Use an oil filter wrench. I use a lid from a spray paint can
to drain some of the fuel out before spinning it off.

My Yanmar engine 3GM30F in my 2002 Catalina died while underway.  I'm going to change the fuel filter to determine if that's the problem. Is there a fuel shut off valve I need to close before changing the filter and where is it located?  How does the filter housing come apart to change the filter?

Thanks very much in advance for your help. It's appreciated.
