genset maintenance

[fl_bluebird_1983]

I hate to start this again but, what is the best method to remove the
fuel filter from my Perkins/Kohler 12.5 KW, it looks like I need to
remove the two lines at the top, and then remove the bolt underneath
where the two lines were attached? Also where is the fuel pump
located, so I can re-prime the lines. I assume I won't be able to
just start the bus and the lines will re-prime automatically.

Thanks
