[C320-list] Secondary filter on Yanmar

[Jack Brennan]

Thanks for the support. It was easier than it looked to do, but it sure is a hell of a place to put a fuel filter. My old Yanmar 2gm20 had it right at the front of the engine, easy to reach and work on.

The funny thing is, I’ve never found a speck of dirt on any of these secondary filters. I usually change them every two or three years just out of concern that the filter material might be deteriorating. That’s using a 30 micron main filter on the Racor.

I use a rubber filter wrench to loosen.
