Since we bought a car with unknown service history, we have to change everything. Slowly working my way down the list.

This diesel filter was tricky. Either someone didn't use their torque wrench or it's been in for too long, but the plastic casing really didn't want to open.

Got it eventually. At least it wasn't a waste of time, as the filter was quite obviously due!

Then had to use my trusty #Mityvac to bleed the system.

Few days ago I used our handy Mityvac to pump up the dregs from the bottom of the diesel tank. Only this time, there were no dregs, just clean fuel - guess we only got clean fuel this season, and nothing grows in our tank either 😌
