Replacing the Primary Fuel Filter
The following tools are suggested for this
procedure:
• Bowl wrench RK61680
• 1" wrench
• New PACCAR primary fuel filter
element designed for this
application
• 2 new O-rings
Start procedure with engine off. Cover any
electrical equipment and wiring that might
get soaked with fuel; diesel fuel may
permanently damage electrical insulation.
To expel air from density-type strainer
elements, soak them in clean fuel before
installing them. Lubricate new O-rings with
clean fuel to ensure a positive seal.
1. Disconnect clip-type electrical
connections from bowl bottom:
a. Disconnect water in fuel (WIF)
sensor from wire bundle.
b. Disconnect electrical heater
sensor from wire bundle.
2. Using bowl wrench, loosen filter
bowl and lower at least 2 inches.
Take care not to damage bowl
sensors on surrounding
components.
3. Slowly remove bowl and filter from
upper filter assembly.
4. Remove the filter element and both
upper and lower O-rings.
5. Install new filter element:
a. Install new upper and lower
O-rings.
b. Install new fuel filter element.
6. Reconnect clip-type electrical
connections to bowl bottom:
a. Reconnect water in fuel (WIF)
sensor to wire bundle.
b. Reconnect electrical heater
sensor to wire bundle.
7. If your vehicle has a fuel blending
valve, turn valve to “Prime.”
8. Allow the electric priming pump to
prime assembly.
9. Start the vehicle.
10. If your vehicle has a fuel blending
valve, turn valve to “Run.”
Observe fuel filter assembly for leaks.
Dispose of old filter element and O-rings
properly.
