[C320-list] Seeking tip on fuel filter

[Jack Brennan]

Hi all:

The Yanmar had 560 hours on it when I bought it two months ago, so it's very 
possible this is the original filter, or maybe the second. It runs 
flawlessly, so I'm not worried about injectors yet.

Yeah, I've been turning it the right way. In fact, I've tried both ways. 
Sometimes, trying to tighten it is a way to break the seal.

The more I think about it, the more the suggestion to buy a new unit makes 
sense. At $111, it's cheap insurance against being stuck in the Bahamas next 
spring with a clogged filter and not being able to get the old one off.

I can't imagine having to deal with this in five-foot seas.

Still, I'm sorely tempted to go at the old filter tomorrow morning out of 
stubbornness, if nothing else.

Thanks for all the advice.
