I have worked on diesels most of my life and prefer the spin fuel filters for obvious ease of use. If you fill the canister 2/3 full with diesel, before you insert the filter, carefully pushing it in slowly, allowing air to escape, avoiding diesel spray coming out, you will almost eliminate all fuel knock from air in the lines in just a few minutes. This also saves the fuel pump from pumping dry, damaging the seals. The rest of your presentation was straight forward, simple easy instructions for the novice and I enjoyed seeing how you did things. Even an old dog like me, learns a trick everyday, to keep growing and to stay flexible.
Planning to change my lift pump and fuel filter tomorrow and was going to fill up the canister with diesel before putting the new filter in. In any case of no start after bumping it, how would you bleed the air out? Cracking injectors? I have a 98 24v manual and I believe my vp44 has the valve to bleed it as well.
I've done this on my '97 12 valve numerous times and I always check TH-cam for a refresher. This was perfect! My difficulty has always been snaking the fuel filter housing out of the engine compartment, and then lining up the threads on the bolt for re-install. But it always seems to work. I'm not a fan of ford diesels but brother-in-law has a 94 with a simple twist off fuel filter on the tippy top of the engine. So easy by comparison!
Well done video. I noticed that when you were trying to remove the rag you hand your hand routed to keep it out of the camera frame, the you moved the camera. Well done with that. It shows that you were making an effort to maintain a view with the camera, while working in a tight space. Thank you for the video and your efforts in making it.
Well done and thanks for the video. I found it to be informative and concise. All the info you need, no b.s. you don't need. I hate it when people try to include all manner of extraneous info into a video on a simple subject, which you didn't do and I thank you for that.
Thank you so much for this video, I just bought a 1997 ram 2500 and it's my first diesel truck, I know a little about diesels but I'm basically a complete newb to the cummins scene.
Great video. Easy to follow. I was actually trying to figure out priming procedures for 98 12 valve. I was trying to figure out why my fuel gauge wasn't working and unscrewed the lid on the top of the tank. That introduced air into the system and the truck wouldn't turn over. I'd say it took about 250 pumps after loosening the stud on the overflow valve. I only wish you'd given a wider shot of where the overflow valve was located, but I figured it out. It still took cranking it 4 or 5 times before it started. 2.5 feet 1 inch OD steel pipe did a great job of letting me pump the primer and still watch the bubbles coming out of overflow valve.
He has a good point on making sure the lip on canister lines up with notch on top of fuel canister. Somebody did mine and did not align it and broke off lip that holds the valve when tighten it and had no valve handle or lip and you cannot buy the fuel canister new any where and hard to find one used.
Changed mine on my 1st gen. Filled the new filter with fuel before installing but still got enough air in the system that it quit running about 10 minutes after startup so cracked all the injector lines loose and cranked till fuel came out, retightened and good to go.
Well its pretty simple should I have said New to me 98 or a new 98 12v? Its TROLS like you that love to make stupid comments for no reason. This Video actually helped me out a lot on changing out the Fuel Filter.
When I replaced My filter I just used the primer on the lift pump until fuel came out of the top of the filter housing. Half a crank and fired right up.
Fww things you could do better. Fill the fuel filter housing with fuel before installing it and crack a line to release air before trying to run it. Not good for injectors to just idle up and run the air through them. But otherwise good vid
Hey boss- would this help remedy an occasional “white smoke” issue under acceleration? Smoke smells of raw diesel and I’m trying to figure out if I need a new filter or new injectors. Likely will end up replacing both anyhow. Many thanks in advance!
I have a 97 12 valve that randomly got fuel leaking from where the fuel filter cap and the canister meet, it seems to be on the firewall side. What can it be?
So on my housing on a 98 24v cummins i have a air dog pump and i was trying to find a fuel leak and i found out my housing is missing the front line and the bango is out leaking fuel can i tighten up that bango without damaging any thing
CumminsWorks I didn't paint it! Truck burned so the plastic one must have melted. Changing the intercooler because it had 8 million holes in it, hopefully that's the problem. Changing the rad, hoses front main seal and cover gasket while I'm in there
Ight maybe someone here can help. I have a 97 12v and let's just say it's seen better days the owner before had no clue what he was doing to fix it. Well it's running and has been for a year or 2 and I've been fixing what I can little by little. About a week ago I was coming home and it drove perfect. I stopped to grab something to eat and when I went to start it, and no fire, it turned and turned and turned but still no fire... I gave it a few shots of carb cleaner and still no fire, I know I know carb cleaner isn't smart but I needed to get the truck started and get home, I was about 2 hours away from home. I've tried priming it using the lift pump prime button, I even cracked the bleeder nuts and diesel shot out, but after I closed the nuts and kept pumping nothing would come out of the injector lines... After I finally got home and did all that to my truck I tried again and again and again and still no fire... Y'all have any ideas on what it could possibly be, I'm completely lost on what's wrong...
@@Kyle_Godfrey111 I believe so. The fuel shut off flap wasn't lifting so I had to lift it myself and it clicked in to stay on. Once I turned the key off it killed the truck and the flap went back down... I'm sorry I'm not very good at describing what was actually wrong with it.
Good video. I will NEVER understand why people call the engine A "come mings" There is no "g" in the name. It is pronounced as it spells...."come ins " drives me crazy! I know...I am nit picking ...us old farts get to do that!

helped me whip right through the first filter change on my 97-98..thanks

Great video! Thanks for sharing this with us. It just makes everything so much easier!!
This video helped me tremendously. Although I was able to take it out by master cylinder.
Thank you so much. Really DO appreciate this knowledge. I'll be followin. Again....THANK YOU.

Didn't know if could come out in front of the injector pump. I've always dropped mine past the starter (kind of a pain). Thanks!
Partially fill up the fuel filter canister would have made it so much easier
Thank you so much!! Managed to do this by myself
Gracias I used your video and everything came up good, I also had to pump it 100 time to get good result.
i miss the spin on filter from my first gen.
Thank you young fella
That was good video
Thanks for the simple Tec tips, Just got a new 98 12v lol.
A NEW 98 ??? WERE DID YOU FIND A NEW ONE ?
Well its pretty simple should I have said New to me 98 or a new 98 12v? Its TROLS like you that love to make stupid comments for no reason. This Video actually helped me out a lot on changing out the Fuel Filter.
Bud I hope ya crash doing stupid shit!!
Dj Dose relax bro its a joke I had no idea you were so sensitive
not sensitive just stupid comments are not needed when someone actually learns something about their new truck.
pia, genos diesel parts sells conversions.. great vid.😊
Good video man!
When I replaced My filter I just used the primer on the lift pump until fuel came out of the top of the filter housing. Half a crank and fired right up.
Great video. Does anyone know the part number of the filter? It doesnt look like the one I bought and just got a 5.9C 12V.
Thanks mate.
Very good!
I took the bleed screw out, and literally pumped the button like 4 times
did you fill the filter housing before you reinstalled it?
@@src4526 no
great , im Cummins fan ..
Thanks, well done!
Nice video thanks
is there a way to bleed it w the electric fuel pump? if you left it slightly loose, turn key on so pump runs, and fuel topped up the fuel?
Well done thanks
That battery terminal screaming for help
What is the other electrical plug in the harness beside the FSS plug and water in fuel sensor?
By any chance do you have the part number for the fuel filter?
Fww things you could do better. Fill the fuel filter housing with fuel before installing it and crack a line to release air before trying to run it. Not good for injectors to just idle up and run the air through them. But otherwise good vid

im having the same issue. did you replace the filter or injectors or both?
Same here
I have a 97 12 valve that randomly got fuel leaking from where the fuel filter cap and the canister meet, it seems to be on the firewall side. What can it be?
a bad seal
Could be diesel
Will a dirty filter cause it to sputter under load and throw out white smoke randomly?
I'm having this exact issue. Did you ever find a solution?
Following
Water in your fuel could. Drain your filter every once in a while.
@@redin575 would break your nozzle tips off
So on my housing on a 98 24v cummins i have a air dog pump and i was trying to find a fuel leak and i found out my housing is missing the front line and the bango is out leaking fuel can i tighten up that bango without damaging any thing
If the line isn't present under the banjo then no you cannot just tighten it up as you will crack the housing
Bro you’re battery terminals are so bad how does it even start 🤯
My 98 has the old spin on with hydroboost it's stupid easy to get that filter on and off
Your 50hp paint matched fuel filter, haha! I remember it, someone must have swapped it out.
CumminsWorks I didn't paint it! Truck burned so the plastic one must have melted. Changing the intercooler because it had 8 million holes in it, hopefully that's the problem. Changing the rad, hoses front main seal and cover gasket while I'm in there
Alan wish i has the spin on
There went 25.00 dollars in the drain pan lol

Presumably you fixed the issue. I had the same problem and replaced the fss and relay; started right up.
Start solenoid?
Starter solenoid*?

Do you know were to find the release valve lever mine is missing off mine ?
try genos
Lol start it up and hold it to 1500rpm Jesus
Good video. I will NEVER understand why people call the engine A "come mings" There is no "g" in the name. It is pronounced as it spells...."come ins " drives me crazy! I know...I am nit picking ...us old farts get to do that!
who cares
In my experience, it's the old farts that add the g. Yes, it drives me crazy too for no reason.
@@truckcampertraveler7369 You cared enough to reply, I'd say you do.
@@redin575 eat a fat one !
@@truckcampertraveler7369 And you replied again! You really do seem to care a lot.
Mine lever is gone too
Where did you get the fuel filter
FilterBarn.com, usually the best price on filters and orders over $100 give you free shipping.
What a stupid location for a fuel filter!
So, what about the other two o-rings?
They either go on the filter or are already on the filter
@@stevehardeman7209 Yeah, I figured that out, unlike whoever made this video
