Marea Changing the fuel filter on a Marea JTD130

The JTD130 is fitted with 2 fuel pumps, one low pressure in the fuel tank and one high pressure on the back of the engine. This means you don't have to mess around pre-filling the filter. Turn the ignition on and listen to the filter. You should hear bubbling as fuel is fed into the filter and air returns to the tank. After a few seconds turn off the ignition. Repeat until the bubbling is gone or much reduced. This took me 5 turns of the key.

You should now be able to start the engine without issue. Let it tick over for a few minutes.
