Subject:Changing My Diesel Fuel Filter for the first time
From:Dave Chameides
Date:Thu, 4 Nov 2004 07:09:01 -0800

About to (finally) change my diesel fuel filter on my 83 1.6 and I was
wondering if there is anything I should know before doing it.  I figure I
should do it in the AM when the van has been sitting for a while (not sure
why I feel this way but it doesn�t seem like a bad idea).  I�m mainly
wondering if there is a tolerance for the amount I should tighten it on (can
I overtighten it?) and is there any specific tool for the job or just a
standard oil filter wrench.

Thanks

Dave
