Hi thanks for your comment. The plastic thing is just an air bleed valve. As far as I can make out it is supposed to help vent air from the filter / fuel system. I think if you keep your tank at a good level you should not have any problems . Having said that I think it would be better to keep fuel system as standard as possible but in emergency remove that piece of plastic. Thank you
I’ve done 150,000 miles in 12 years in my 2003 td5 double cab and changed this little filter several times due to the same issue. How can such a small piece of plastic cause so many sleepless nights!!!!!! I keep one as a spare just incase
Thanks very much and God bless you for your hard work for the sake of us the beginners.
