[C320-list] Fuel Filter

[BAdams3491 at aol.com]

I don't use the fuel shut off, too hard to reach.  I remove  the fuel line 
aft of the primary filter and plug it.

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.
