Title: urgent help - new fuel filter wont clip on
Post by: SMD on 29 March 2014, 15:13:02
I thought removing it would be difficult - it wasnt but clipping it in is proving to be a pain. Its clicked on the tank side (rear) but the front won't click. Its as if being blocked but without the clip the filter goes fully in.

I've tried the clip that came off but still wont go in.

Is the filter the correct way round?

Haven't changed one for ages, what with lpg and all.

Put the clip in the pipe first then pushed the filter in

No problem.   :y   maybe the 'how to' should make a note of this point in case someone else gets stuck?

That's the guide for the thermostat. But you're right, I didn't read it properly, it does state putting the clips in the fuel lines first.  :-[  would have saved me an hour
