How do you change the fuel filter on a Cummins?
After changing the filter you will have to purge the air from the system. Maybe not, our ISC self purges with no trouble. Just turn on the ignition switch, that turns on the electric pump and fills the filter. You might have to repeat it. Oh yes, DON’T leave the petcock open on the bottom of the filter. It can spill a LOT of fuel in a short time.
How often should you change the fuel filter?
NO, DON’T ASK ME HOW I KNOW!! OP: you’re supposed to change the fuel filter every time you change engine oil, on our ISC that’s every 15,000 miles or once a year. DON’T prefill the filter if you have an ISC, if you do prefill it do so ONLY through the small holes on the outside of the filter.
