Hi Stefan

To make things easy, fill the new filter with diesel before fitting, couple pumps on

hand pump and should be sweet.

Not familiar with that mode or filter just make sure you ade your dirty fuel up stream from the filter

And be prepared for it to run like a hairy goat and blow lots of smoke for a bit when you start it up. Give it a minute or two and it will settle down.

When priming, I disconnect the fuel line that goes to the motor and pump the primer until fuel comes out the hook it all back up again. It seems to prime easier this way and you know for certain that fuel has got that far at least.

Rubber gloves are a good idea too as you will get fuel everywhere taking the old filter off, no matter how careful you are. The disposable ones work, but tend to tear on a that hose clamp you never knew was there.

A cheap metal strap type oil filter wrench can also help when taking the old one off and tightening the new one when your hands are covered in fuel.

Have fun.
