Steps to Use a Fuel Filter Wrench on an FGB71 Fuso Canter:
1. Preparation
·Park the vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine.
·Allow the engine to cool to avoid burns from hot components.
·Gather your tools:
oFuel filter wrench (correct size for the FGB71 fuel filter housing)
oNew fuel filter (if replacing)
oDrain pan
oGloves and rags
2. Accessing the Fuel Filter
·Open the engine bay or access panel (depending on model).
·Locate the fuel filter housing—usually found near the firewall or engine.
3. Draining Fuel (Optional but Recommended)
·Some FGB71 models have a drain plug at the bottom of the fuel filter housing. Open it slightly to drain residual fuel into a pan.
4. Removing the Fuel Filter
·Place the fuel filter wrench around the housing cap.
·Turn counterclockwise to loosen the filter housing.
·Carefully remove the old filter, ensuring no debris enters the system.
5. Installing the New Fuel Filter
·Lubricate the new filter’s gasket with clean diesel fuel.
·Install the new filter into the housing.
·Use the fuel filter wrench to tighten the housing clockwise until snug (avoid overtightening).
6. Priming the Fuel System
·If your model has a primer pump, operate it several times to remove air from the fuel lines.
·Start the engine and check for leaks.
7. Final Check
·Inspect for leaks around the fuel filter.
·Dispose of the old fuel and filter properly.
This method ensures a secure, damage-free fuel filter change while preventing fuel system issues.
