The second is a hose that has a significnat crack right at the fitting; there isn't fuel seeping her though; is for air?

That's called a banjo fitting, and it looks bent. I'd replace it before you end up spewing fuel all over the side of a hot engine some day. Can't tell for sure, but that looks like the hose between the filter and the pump. One of mine blew while mowing a dry field, and I'm lucky I didn't start a fire.

You can replace the fitting only, or you can replace the whole hose. I checked my spare parts bin, found a spare fitting AND a spare hose (banjos both ends). But I'd need measurements to make sure mine fit yours.

Oh, and yes - remove the filter canister by turning left. I drove a heavy duty screwdriver thru mine from right to left, slipped a cheater over the screwdriver handle, then pulled. Once you break the pain seal, you're over the hump.

This line runs from the item below to right in the pic and then up to 'rail' of sorts connecting to the first cylinder and then to each of the other cylinders.

The long screwdriver trick on the filter was used in the past on a diesel truck's oil filter; messy but effective.


You folks have been so helpful; glad I found this site. :thumbsup:

Greg,

"Once you break the pain seal, you're over the hump.

Was that just a typo or a Freudian "slip" (if you'll pardon the pun)? :laughing:

I've sure barked my knuckles a number of times on balky filters and slipping wrenches.

I attached two pics; one showing the filter; looking at the pic then I sould be turning to the left, correct; or if the chinese use reverse threads then I should turn it to the right?

The second is a hose that has a significnat crack right at the fitting; there isn't fuel seeping her though; is for air?

The defective hose in question is the fuel return line to the tank via the injector bleed-off lines. You can tell it's the fuel return line because of the pressure relief/regulating valve banjo bolt - look closely and you'll see another hex head on top of the banjo bolt.
I'm not sure of the filter removal instructions given, a little ambiguous to my mind, but if you were underneath the filter looking up at it, it would want to turn counter-clockwise for removal. Lefty loosey, righty tightie.

Never noticed that. I typed "paint", but the "t" apparently didn't tag along for the ride.

Well, tried all of suggestions here; still couldn't get that filter off. Had to disconnect two lines and remove the bracket holding the filter, take into the garage put it in a vise with filter pointing up, drove the long screwdriver thru it and after 4-5 tries the seal broke and the filter started to come loose. OMG! Got the new filter on and now it's back to reinstalling everything.

Given that the oil filter's never been changed, odds are good the fuel filter is original too. Probably a good idea to replace that one too. Trick to that is to have the new filter already filled to the brim with diesel. Then the instant your old one drops off into a bucket, spin the new one on as quick as possible. That technique often avoids having to bleed the system to make it start up again.

Ok, had it in my head we were spinning off the oil filter. Senior moment. I'll change the wording, but the intent is the same; that is, change the other filters while you're at it.

The filter was filled with fuel and reinstalled. The fuel lines reattached. The file bowl under the tank was pulled and the. Screen checked, all good. Is there another screen in the system before the filte? how does one bleed the system?
