Just did this for a Ford Focus Mk2 1.6 diesel 2009. I was a little concerned about priming it but it all went ok. I used the Draper 43986 Diesel Priming Pump from amazon. The connectors didn't fit but... I took the inlet connector off and attached it straight to the exit nozzle of the filter which was a tight fit. It didn't take many pumps of the bulb to pull the fuel through the filter directly from the tank. Connected back up and car started first time. Kept the revs high for a minute or two and all done! Hope this helps someone else.
This taught me how to swap out my fuel filter due to the old one was causing my car to cut out as i was trying to drive. Could i ask if the top part of the filter (the black plastic part) is removable please ? My reason for asking is that i need to "Flush" out my fuel tank of all the diesel deposits and instead of having to buy at least 2x brand new filters (as they start clogging up with the diesel gunge in them) i was hoping that the black plastic part of the filter is removable so i can clean out the inside of the filter. Got a feeling though it's gonna be a "Sealed Unit" :(

You can’t, just tested😅 even filled and bleed the filter before attempting. Ended up disconnecting the line from the fuel tank that they do in the video and attached a hose to the end going to the filter and manually filled it through a funnel held high and cranked it until it started, filled the hose up and quickly connected the tank hose again and that seems to have done the trick 👍
Hi im mechanic U can either prime it on the feed pipe like in the video or u can also prime it by disconnecting the othe house the green one with clear hose thats the return pipe but i normally bleed it from return pipe attaching a primming pump or a drill water pump which u can attach a drill machine thats faster

This filter can only be replaced as an assembly.
Do i need to pump fuel into the filter or can i just turn the ignition on wait then off and repeat couple of times then start?

hi just replaced my diesel fuel filter with one from your website car starts better now but im getting hesitation on acceleration and a loss of power
Without proper diagnostics it is difficult to say something, we recommend contacting the service.

Thank you for your interest in our channel.

its the green cable next to the white, just use a hand pump to suck it out a couple of times
@@550ronald thank you so much
How wide is the fluid syringe, 10mm?
What kind of plug has it?
We can’t tell you how wide the liquid syringe is. Please specify the time of the fragment in the video where the plug is.
Perfect
What was the pump used for? Just to get fuel to the filter or something else? Doesn't the fuel pump alreday do that?
The pump is used to pump fuel into the filter to prevent air from entering the system.
