Once you have closed the valve turn the ignition to run, but do not start. You will hear the lift pump run for a few seconds. When it stops running bump the starter, DO NOT try for a full start yet. By doing this you are forcing the lift pump the prime the canister. This time the lift pump will run for a good bit longer. When the lift pump turns off bump the starter once again this is to ensure the filter canister is full of fuel. When the lift pump turns off again, go for a full start. It may take a bit longer for the engine to fire off, and when it does run it may run a bit rough for a few seconds. The engine will return to a normal idle once the air has been purged out of the rail. Wile the engine is running hop out and check the canister for leaks, if no leaks you are good to go.

Now go back, relax, and enjoy the thought that you just saved yourself more than $50 by changing the fuel filter yourself.


here is where I get my filters Geno's Garage.

Other filters will work, however I know since Fleetguard is a division of Cummins if anything could go wrong my warranty would not be void. Some Filters are made cheaply, these are not, infact, if you were to go to the dealership to have your filter changed, this is the same filter they would use but it would be remarked with mopar.
