changing gen diesel filters

[Pete Masterson]

When I changed the fuel filter on my PowerTech generator (Kubota diesel engine), I made sure that I filled the spin-on fuel filter to the brim with diesel just before putting it on, trying to spill as little as possible.

The engine started up with only a slightly longer effort than usual -- I presume that it was due to the small amount of air in the fuel line. But then, I didn't know that there might be a problem...

thanks for your help on the compressor. i ordered the rebuild kit.

today i changed the oil and filters on the bus motor and serviced the genarator.  i have the 

fuel filters for the gen but was afraid of changing them.  i have had so many problems with 

small diesel motors after breaking the fuel lines.  is there any method of changing these 

filters without having problems starting after the change?  thanks.
