Fellow CSR folks,
Can someone run down the steps to change out the Cat fuel filter? My Racor's are fine and I'm sure the Cat filters are too but I want to do a complete fluids/filter/impellers job. Is it as simple as unscrewing the old one, pre-filling the new filter with diesel, lubing the filter and reinstalling then priming the fuel system? My books are on the boat and just want to know what to do ahead of getting there. Thanks and sorry if this has been asked before, I've searched but didn't see a matching thread for fuel filters. Cat dealer says part is 1R-0751 which they sell for $17.81 a piece.
