Thank you for this excellent video!! This was very helpful, and in many ways. On my D1-30 (2006 Bav 33) it is very similar but getting to that bolt on the bottom of the bowl is in a very difficult place to reach on my boat. I accidentally broke off the bolt going at it from an awkward angle. A mechanic showed me how he never removes the bottom bolt and just removes the top long bolt, which is easy to get to, and let’s the whole filter and bowl fall into a container. He actually just uses an old plastic one quart oil container with one side cut out which seems to be the perfect size.
Today I was changing both primary and secondary fuel filters on my Volvo MD7B and I tried your method. I worked great saving me time pumping the lever to purge the air. Thanks again.
That was excellent. On my yanmar I use a suction pump on the fine filter just before the engine. That has gone now and a Volvo 2040 is on the way so this was very helpful, thank you. Good access to your engine there. I hope my new boat is as good.
Thanks for the video. I replaced my primary (engine) and secondary (Delphi) fuel filters on my Beta 20. But I started by closing tap from fuel tank then attaching a Pela oil suck-out hand vacuum pump to engine fuel pump return hose, pumped a few times to build up vacuum then opened the Delphi CAV bleed valve on top of secondary filter. This sucked out most of the fuel between second filter and fuel return pipe. When I unscrewed both filters there was hardly any spill due to both filters now drained. With new filters now in place and all bleed screws closed, I used the hand vacuum pump once again, but this time I opened the fuel tank's supply tap and fuel system was refilled. Engine fired up fine. I did a double check on both filter's bleed valves just to make sure there was no air trapped. I don't have a manual hand pump lever on my engine's mechanical pump.
I did the change yesterday and I find that the best is to change them both together at once instead of pouring diesel in the filter, it maybe takes 10-15 times to pump and you get the diesel through the both filters. pretty simple.
Thank you for the video! When I change the fine filter at my VP2020, I fill it with fresh diesel just before I mount it. Since there is only a very small amount of air left, it will bleed out when I turn on the engine. It only takes a few more seconds for the engine to start, than regularly. And after a few seconds running, the engine is running all stable.
Fantastic video, thank you. Can I ask why didn't you just use your syringe to add a small amount of diesel to the top of each filter compartment rather than sucking out the air or pumping through, in the case of the fine filter? I think this would work to displace the air. Thanks😊
Thanks so much for the extremely helpful videos! You mention at 25.30 m that you should make sure the engine is at top dead centre. I didn't find any mention of this in the manual when bleeding. So three questions, how important, how to check this, and how to adjust it if it is incorrect? Thanks for any guidance!
You can use the hand pump at any point but at top dead centre the pump has the best function. The top dead centre is marked at the flywheel, but sometimes pretty hard to see.
Hi for some reason, the Osculati prefilter did not fit. It's slightly too long for the long screw at the top to reach the screwpath of the bottom piece.
Hi Tino, a nice movie and help me to change the filters. I habe bought my Bavaria 32 from 2002 in die beginning of this year and it is no heating mounted. I will Install a heating and from this point can you make a short movie that i can see how is the heating mounted. Many thanks and always good luck
Thanks :) - Yes I will make a video about how the heating system is installed. I don't know what heater brand you choose but there is of course Webasto there is a good well known brand, but also pretty expensive to buy. It is also possible to buy one of these chinese heaters out there, a ok quality and at a price around 200 US Dollars. Then you can get the air duct system installed and a heater without blowing the bank. A Webasto heater is around 2000 US Dollars + air ducts and so, but someting there also is important is to buy one there is big enough. Also where the heater is located is a bit important due to the quite high noise from the heater. Regarding Webasto it is possible to buy one used, clean it for carbon and it will pretty sure run until the day you sell the boat.
Yes I know the Volvo Penta filters are the best, but also x6 the price of a Osculati ( 7.5 US Dollars for the Osculati and 45 US Dollars for the Volvo filter )
Regarding oil filteres there is a different from eg. Fram to a quality oil filter, it is the way the oil is flowing when it bypasses the safety valve inside the filter. I have just made a "separation" of the old Fleetguard fuel filter and the quality seems to be very good. In the fuel filter there is no safety valve as build into the oil filters. The spring there is holding the filter unit where it must be is also of a very good and strong quality.
@@twiper Volvo spare parts are unbelievably pricey. I just paid an arm and a leg for a original air filter because I could not find a unoriginal one here in Turkey and I need one asap. Highway robbery !!!!!!
@@pedropedroztravels8272 Yes the Volvo parts is almost insanely high priced. But you also get a good quality, an air filter is something there will last a good amount of years so the price is in a way ok....
Thank you for this excellent video!!

I like when you speak because I understand all your comments. 🇫🇷

Thank you for the information. Your systematic way of bleeding is excellent.

Sounds great :)
thanks for the instruction video. I'm about to change fuel filters on my MD2030 in my Bav36 in a couple of days :)
Excellent presentation. I feel confident now that I too can change my filters. Thank you.

Your engine compartment is really clean.👍

Du er en stjerne Tino !
Jeg manglede inspiration til netop denne operation, det fik jeg her. Tak for det, jeg håber at du snart får en Bavaria igen 😊
Perfect thanks. Just got this engine in a new boat. Could bleed my old Perkins in 5 mins but its been a while :)
Thanks for the education young man, much appreciated 🎅
Very good Tino thanks for posting.

Cracking info mate 🍻✌️🇬🇧
Hi Tino , great videos ,, can I ask what the pump was and what size tube to prime the pre filter ?
Thanks 😊 The pump was a 0.2L and I think the tube was a Ø6mm
Mooie heldere uitleg, thank you.
Hi for some reason, the Osculati prefilter did not fit. It's slightly too long for the long screw at the top to reach the screwpath of the bottom piece.
You can get the CAV filters in two different lengths, maybe you have bought the long version.
Hi Tino, a nice movie and help me to change the filters. I habe bought my Bavaria 32 from 2002 in die beginning of this year and it is no heating mounted.

Hi, my plan is to install a Planar heating. Die heating is from Russia and in die sail Magazin "Yacht " discribed and the price is Sound 700 €.
Hi Tino, the orignal VP oil filter has a better quality then the rest. It has to do with the spring inside the filter.
Yes I know the Volvo Penta filters are the best, but also x6 the price of a Osculati ( 7.5 US Dollars for the Osculati and 45 US Dollars for the Volvo filter )

@@twiper Do you have email adress i have excel overview for you with alternative VP parts
Thanks
see how to bleed the fuel system at 29 minutes right at the end of all the helpful lectures on tanks and maintenance.
annoying way of talking but very good information and you seem very conscientious
