[C320-list] Changing fuel filter question

[jbrown5093 at yahoo.com]

Don't feel too bad. I've been told that the best time to change the primary fuel filter is in the spring after the first startup. That way stuff that settled over the winter layup gets trapped in the old filter before a fresh one is fitted.  Oil filter is a different story
