Tips On Duramax Fuel Filter by autoremedy365: 12:10pm On Nov 23, 2022
With a little bit of research and some basic mechanical skills, you can change your own fuel filter on your Duramax diesel engine. You can save yourself quite a bit of money doing this, plus you'll know exactly what type of filter you need and when it's time to replace it. In this article we'll cover everything from safety precautions to bleeding the system after installation to make sure air pockets don't form in your fuel line.

Changing Your Duramax Fuel Filter

• Locate the fuel filter. The location of the fuel filter may vary depending on your vehicle, but it is usually located in an easy-to-reach area near the engine bay.
• Remove the old filter. Unscrew and remove the old fuel filter using a wrench or crescent wrench (if applicable). Be careful not to spill any liquid on yourself or your vehicle, as it can damage paint and cause rusting if left there too long!
• Install a new Duramax Fuel Filter into its place, being sure to screw it in securely with a socket wrench so that there are no leaks when you start up your truck again later today!
• Check for any air inside of lines by turning off engine for about 20 seconds then restarting - this helps get rid of any trapped gases inside line which could lead to carburetor flooding issues later down road (this will happen especially if you have an older model without check valve systems installed). If you still see bubbles after trying this method multiple times then chances are something else might be wrong somewhere else inside engine compartment so make sure nothing else has been bumped around during installation process before calling out professional mechanic nearby...

Tips For Changing Your Duramax Fuel Filter

Before you begin, make sure to disconnect the battery.
• Do not smoke around a diesel engine; this includes e-cigarettes and other vaping equipment. The fuel filter is located under the driver side of your truck, so you may want to raise it up on jack stands before removing it.
• Using a fuel filter wrench can damage your fuel lines and cause leaks in them. Instead, use an oil filter wrench to remove your Duramax diesel's new or old fuel filter by hand. It should come out easily so long as there's no debris clogging up the line itself (which would mean you need more serious repair work done). Don't forget to check behind the old one for any left over bits!
• Make sure to change out both crush washers when installing a new Duramax diesel fuel filter into place; these small rubber pieces help seal everything together securely so that nothing leaks or pops off unexpectedly during use down in Colorado Springs winters when temperatures drop quickly outside without warning sometimes leaving us stranded until spring arrives back again next year!
