Thank you for taking time to showing us (regular driver) how to change filters on the truck **, This will help us out by not standing in line for hours at the truck stop waiting hours at which take less that 15-30 minutes if done correctly!! Be honest with you this the first time I ever look at a video *** Keep up the good work!!!! GOD BLESS
Shouldn't reuse the fuel drained from the unit. It's a fuel/water processor. Majority of that first cup will be water depending on how often the water is drained and fuel quality that has been used. Besides, you just installed a new filter.
Everyone mechanic has is own way of doing things, I really do appreciate this video,as I am a mechanic on all types of diesel engines, base here in Nigeria were I come from,pls currently looking for opportunity over there to do such Jobs, many thanks
My Fuel-Pro 382 used both of those larger gaskets. Thicker one for the top clear bowl, and the second thinner seal for the bottom plate. My Fuel-Pro 382 developed a crack in the bottom plate and the truck parts wanted almost $700 to replace with brand new one which I couldn't afford. So I removed it from truck and converted to spin-on fuel filter assembly. Now as for refilling new filters both the Fuel-Pro 382 and spin-on filters of all types, I only use transmission fluid and nothing else. The thicker transmission fluid pulls diesel fuel from tanks faster and cleans fuel injectors and combustion parts of engine in one step. I learned that from a large mobile lube service I worked for many years ago which works perfect for all heavy equipment diesel engines especially CAT.
Be careful. Modern tranny fluid isn't the same as what the old timers were using. There's different additives in it which can mess around with some of your components. Same with 2 stroke oil. I've heard that Marvel Mystery Oil can be a good substitute.
I would still recommend draining all of the fluid. Contaminants collect at the bottom of the filter housing and also inside the spring where the ball check valve is inside the filter housing.
Never drain all the way out. It'll lose prime. Run the engine afterwards and drain down to the cap tgen let it fill back up automatically. Should be good after 3 drain downs.
One. Drain intire fuel housing. Check for dirt, or metal filings at bottom of housing. At sometime in the trucks life you will find, small aluminum shavings, which will indicate a fuel pump could be going bad. Clean and reassemble, using new fuel. Never use the old fuel.
That is the INCORRECT way to do that filter change. Never use Vaseline. Never reuse diesel fuel from the bottom of the filter. That bowl is meant to have a vacuum for proper water separation. After the new filter is on and filled with clean diesel to the top of the filter, tighten the top cap, start engine until running smooth, then just loosen the top cap while the engine is running and the fuel level will drop. Once the fuel gets down to the level of the bottom ring, tighten the top cap snug. You only need to change the filter when the fuel level gets near the top of filter head marked with a black line on the filter itself.
I did exactly what I saw in the video. Everything was fine. I drove almost 250 miles. I tried to back up in spot and the truck shut it off. I now can’t start. It looks like there’s air in the system.
@@aydarusjamai but you recognize it was your mistake on that? Because I'm planning to do an oil change for today and after hearing everyone saying MY TRUCK SHUT OFF like it makes me not wanna change it but my truck does need it so I'm like f idk what to do and I can't afford a service somewhere they're expensive and after all I got all the tools so I dont want to mess this up.
I have a same Hino as yours. I just did my fuel filter. I turn that knob and nothing came out. I use a thin piece of steel wire and poke it up...a lot of crap came out.
haha, I seen all that stuff come out of the cup on the bottom. Yuk, he should have thrown the first cup all away. Then maybe save the rest if completly clean.
Marvel Mystery Oil is good for dissolving carbon build up inside the motor so use it with the motor oil, not very helpful when used with the fuel and lucas oil or other lubricants are not needed in the fuel of diesel engines because diesel fuel is very oily, just change filters regularly, they don’t help much when it comes to injector cleaning either. Lucas can however be useful in gasoline engines because nowadays gasoline without the lead is a dry fuel and additives can help provide the needed lubrication.
How low should the diesel stay? I recently changed the fuel filter but diesel is to low. I've also noticed that the truck shakes from side to side when its cold and it goes away 1 minute later
BILL, what used truck with 400,000 miles would you recommend for RELIABILITY and fuel MPG ? does the year matters if 2014 vs 2015 has the same miles but cheaper for 2014...thank u
@@billtaylorlandstar1567 There's reman pre-emission engines in new glider truck bodies that were made up until 2020. So for example if you find a 2019 Columbia, it will likely have a pre-emission Detroit 60 or Cummins n14, or maybe a Cat.
I have over a million miles on my truck with original injectors and have never used any additives, including Lucas. Did I mess up or save a lot of money?
I definitely would have drained all the fuel to get the dirt from the bottom. Clean the dirt out and reuse the good fuel.. Wouldn't have done it this but it works this way as well..
whats happening when i change my filter and the fuel goes up and down in the fuel chamber....do i have an air leak somewhere? My truck cranks over but wont start.
shyeem63 ........when the fuel reaches the top of the filter.there is a line on top too showing you to change the filter when fuel level reaches that level.
if you watch CLOSELY when he dumps cup into fresh fuel supply, at very end a BUNCH of GARBAGE was with it ! NEVER reuse that drained fuel, get rid of it !
But surely the filter, which he just installed here, would stop any foreign matter passing through? He emptied it into the 'dirty' side, not the 'clean' side. Having said that I'd also rather fresh fuel be used to prime the new filter.
So when I turn the valve it doesn't drain like this dude's does so do I just open the Bixch and let her run into a catch. That's what I did a bit messy but good for weed prevention in the driveway! It's running nice now so i guess I did something right today!
Because of this video I was able to change the fuel filter myself. Thank you very much sir. Saved myself a service call

Just don't reuse the dirty fuel from bottom of filter. Thanks. Great info
Danny Brown it's alright it's goin into the filter

The dislike is from Mechanic
Because the don’t wanna do it
The mechanic need your money 😀😀😀😀😂😂😂😂
Really helpful & saved me the labor cost, thanks

Ho Lee Schitt The fuel system would lose its prime of you did that.
turn the key a few times ;)
NEVER completely drain it...
Never drain all the way out. It'll lose prime. Run the engine afterwards and drain down to the cap tgen let it fill back up automatically. Should be good after 3 drain downs.
Now that’s how you make a how to!! Thanks 🙏🏽

DO NOT DRAIN THE ENTIRE BOWL. You'll lose prime.

Get the tool at any TA/Petro or truck dealer, make sure it fits your filter
Hi Bill, after changing the filter, why should we dump fuel back in? Aren't we changing filter so that we get rid of that dirty fuel?
Very well explained thank you!!!
That other gasket you put in the trash bag actually goes on that black ring lol but it's not 100 needed but it's a secondary option
Thank you for the video and thank you for your service sir. Much appreciated! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thanks much for the tutorial. Thanks also for your service to America!
Thanks explaining well ,no more service truck for me..
that first cup that was drained had dirt in it! thanks a lot!
After how many miles do you change the filter
Thanks brother! You saved me time and money! 🙏
Do you still need to prime after filter change
Great video!! Thank you!!
I usually dont use Lucas fuel treatment, i do use Marvel Mystery Oil in my fuel
I'm a Sea Foam guy myself, but I've heard good things about Marvel too.
This is NOT a fuel filter, its a water seperator.
Good job on the video Bill.
Thanks brother. ABout to change right now
Thank you sr. What is the part number of the easy drainer?
Like them fuel island paper towels
haha, I seen all that stuff come out of the cup on the bottom. Yuk, he should have thrown the first cup all away. Then maybe save the rest if completly clean.
You ain't lying...I replayed it and sure as shit he dumped that line of dirt right into his jug
You are correct. Easy to see on replay
yep it's clear as day, not sure how he missed that
Great video
Thanks
how many time should you used the lucas oil should you do it once 15miles i was told not to used it everytime you fuel ? thc for video
Great video, good job. In 2019 everyone is a critic.
Corey Adams even in 2020 lol
Every trucker has some vasoline. Lol
Hello brother, I am a filter factory from China
Also, ONLY hand tighten! The wrench in ONLY for removing the filter. The owners manuals are your best "advice".
Awesome, thanks for sharing your experience

Thank you I just bought my truck only drove about 5k miles and my fuel is almost up to the line , is that normal?
Hey bill. Great video, how is landstar working for you? I am getting ready to lease on with them. could use your advice. thanks
Thank you so much sir! God bless you!
Do you know why my truck has no full in that housing. It sucks it all up
you are sucking air somewhere
Hey, it's the Quaker oats commercials guy!
Excellent thank you.And thank you for your service
Great video! 👍
Can you do a video on a full pm
How low should the diesel stay?
I recently changed the fuel filter but diesel is to low.
I've also noticed that the truck shakes from side to side when its cold and it goes away 1 minute later
Whats the size wrench?
Is the filter tool a 6 inch?
Thanks mr 4 the video
Well done 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks excellent explanation
thank you 4 sharing your knowlege
Do refill the filter with regular fuel or diesel.
palm oil
thanks 4 the help
so the feul has to be half way full? or all the full.
up to the black line at the top
blackisbac to change?
I did not hear when you said if there is no bubbles coming out of the fuel filter there no leaks?
Was that pure Lucas?
How do you know when you need to change it
Did you not see the dirt come out of the cup? Granted when you pour it into the filter it goes to the dirty side of the filter.
you should'tuse the drained diesel went you put from the cup was realy durty
Sir,is it Hino truck ?
Good video thanks
What size tool? I have 2018 Pete 579, paccar engine
the cap 240007, it's hard to find on the web. Who's the manufacture?

You didn’t unplug the sensor ?

mike mike you messed up
you are my hero u big stud!!

Perfect explanation ty
I’m having a DPR sensor come up my fuel filter is empty what does that mean? How can I fix that problem
whats happening when i change my filter and the fuel goes up and down in the fuel chamber....do i have an air leak somewhere? My truck cranks over but wont start.
Cynthia Hoagland, if you have bubbles u have an air leak
"Nitrite gloves" lool
how do u know when its time to change the filter bill?
shyeem63 ........when the fuel reaches the top of the filter.there is a line on top too showing you to change the filter when fuel level reaches that level.
Ns Bt thanks and the other filter on a dd15 u change when u do oil change?
if you have a davco filter before the engine fuel filters you can go min 150k before changing the 2 or 3 on the engine.
You mean up to the black line
time to change for new one ?
When your filter looks like it's made out of black tar.
if you watch CLOSELY when he dumps cup into fresh fuel supply, at very end a BUNCH of GARBAGE was with it ! NEVER reuse that drained fuel, get rid of it !
Yep. Visible on replay.
My oil pump is leaking oil and my truck stops accelerating for 2-4 seconds here and there what should I do
Nitrate gloves?......you should know that they are called "Nitrile" gloves after the type of rubber compounds that they are made of.
Yeah, funny, nitrate would burn ya freaken hands off!! Lol
who cares....did that verbal mistake change your life??
you're not perfect, get a life
Don't do what this guy did. He just dumped a bunch of dirt into his refill fuel jug. Great way to ruin HP pump and injectors.
But surely the filter, which he just installed here, would stop any foreign matter passing through? He emptied it into the 'dirty' side, not the 'clean' side. Having said that I'd also rather fresh fuel be used to prime the new filter.
Don’t drain fuel onto the ground at fuel island.
Thanks a lot!
I would never reuse that bad fuel that probably has water in it!
Sarfaraz from Pakistan
Now I know how to change it but when do I change it?
XGiveMeLibertyX when fuel gets up to the black line or when truck starts running sluggish
@@billtaylorlandstar1567 Thanks! mine is above that black line so that's what i figured but wasn't sure
If you need to be shown how to unscrew a filter and screw it back on!!!! Chances are you shouldn't be leaving the house.
Imagine being a prick just because some people have less experience than others

Is "goop" a technical term?
If it's not...it always rhymes with Poop!
Thanks buddy
So when I turn the valve it doesn't drain like this dude's does so do I just open the Bixch and let her run into a catch. That's what I did a bit messy but good for weed prevention in the driveway!
It's running nice now so i guess I did something right today!
Appreciate the video
is this is Company Sir. I want to Apply if there's an Opened position., available. im Truck mechanic with 5 years of Expereince...
That fuel is nasty af why use old fuel. Always have a nice and clean bottle and use fresh fuel from the pump
😂 this guy said he likes Vaseline he said take a finger and rub it on there make sure is deep
