[C320-list] Changing the RACOR and Secondary fuel filters.

Pat -- the shut off for the fuel is on top of the fuel tank.
It turns about 1/4 to 1/2 then it is off. I routinely do this
for winter storage. There is a drain on the bottom of the
RACOR. I use a plastic lid from my wasp repellent.
I dump that and the fuel from the RACOR filter into
my waste oil and then dump that at an oil disposal site.
the RACOR is gravity fed so after changing the fuel filter
open the bleed screw on top of the RACOR and when 
fuel comes out, it is full. After changing the other filter,
and all is back together I use the lever on the motor pump
to pump fuel up to the filter. With the bleed screw open,
when fuel comes out it is full. It is possible that some air
can remain, so you may need to bleed a second time.
Usually that does it for me. Use lots of paper towels
or diapers or what ever works for you.

I have always had my mechanic do this work and foolishly failed to pay 
attention. Now that I am 1000 miles away from him I need to do this job.
First, I assume that you need to shut off the fuel pump - where is that located 
?
When you drain the Racor do you discard that fuel or put in back in after 
changing the filter ? Obviously if the fuel looks to be clean and clear
Secondary filter - is there a drain or simply pull out the filter and replace it 
?
After changing both filters I know that you have to prime the lines - any 
special instructions in that dept. ?
