About to do a little service.....

[mowlamb]

I'm about to do all my filters and oil and need a bit of info. I've never done a fuel filter before but have been told it is best to fill the new one with new diesel or a diesel treatment to ensure the system won't need bleeding. Is this correct and if so is it best to just use diesel or a diesel treatment?

tip diesal into the filter 

[mowlamb]

Old diesel or new diesel? Should I be able to tip it in from the old one if old diesel is ok?

This is what I do and never have issues with

just tip the diesel from the old filter into the new one

I've never done any of that; remove old filter; stick new filter in and hey presto; fires up first time
