I'm going to change my Cat 3116 filters this weekend and just want to confirm approach:
Use the Cat primer pump (I know one of mine leaks)
or
Prefill from a jug and start with full throttles to clear any air (risk of contaminated fuel if not filtered)
I just want to confirm there isn't also an option to start full throttles with a dry filter. Some of the comments are unclear.
I have always used the primer pump to fill my newly installed fuel filters.
Others here pour freshly filtered fuel into the filter and install it on the engine.
