Question on replacing fuel/water seperating filter

[saunasisu]

I have a Yamaha F150/8h motors. I need to replace fuel/water seperating filter. Question I have is,on the box it says to prime until filter is comletely full. How do I do that? Is this something I can do or do I need to take it the shop.

I would think you'd be able to do that with the primer bulb.

Well, that makes sense. Thanks

It may be easier just to fill the canister before you screw it on, I know that is what I did when I originally installed mine.

Anyone else have the priming bulb after the filter and use the bulb to fill the canister? I have heard of people installing priming bulbs before the filter just for this reason.

I just installed one on my Lund. The fuel lines go: gas tank, water separating filter, primer bulb, engine. I was a little worried that I might need an additional primer bulb before the filter, but I had no issues when I took it out on Sunday.

Solbes, I have the same set up on my Lund. I think I'll fill up the filter, screw it on and prime the bulb. That should work. Thanks for the insight, boys. Happy fishing.
