Thank you. I just changed the fuel filter on my own. It was easy, but a little stressful for a new trucker with little mechanic exp like me.

Great video. Side Note he doesn't need that large wrench.The Large strap socket he has to remove the threaded middle seal has a small like circle by the handle that's used for that top cap unthreading . And you can primer it also buy pumping it next to the fuel sep promary filter.

All you had to was pump the priming pump near your canister filters to prime it

It is pulling the fuel down because the cap is off . DD’s do not have an electric fuel pump .

GOOD JOB KID!! THATS THE ONLY WAY TO SURVIVE THIS BRUTAL INDUSTRY!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 IVE GOT COUPLE TRICKS FOR YOU TO SHARE!! WE OWNERS OPERATORS NEED TO LEARN BASIC MAINTENANCE TRICKS.

Right on, good info for Detroit owners, I'm a Cummins guy and got 693000 on my 2250

When draining the diesel fuel always open the cap on top, then you don't get air in the fuel system

Nomad Chad, you do realize by now that you have another fuel filter on that motor right? You actually pointed it out during your video, it has a main filter and a pre-filter to change and that one has a hand pump to prime because it is the primary fuel pump, the Davco doesn't need changing till it is close to the top of the cartridge. Your mechanic was very through in his cleaning inside of canister, but should have just opened the top cap on housing (with his filter wrench) then opened the petcock in bottom and completely drain the housing, then wipe the worst of the grime off the outside so not to contaminate, and take apart, excellent job of cleaning inside and replacing and partially filling with injector cleaner and clean diesel fuel, but you don't have to really do that till you put your cover back on and go through the top, you can fill it up a little bit or all the way like he said. But then replace your small top cap and you are good to go, you will not see, diesel on the glass cover until the filter starts to plug up a little then it will creep higher and higher, it kept taking the fuel he was adding because that is the way it was designed. If anyone who pointed that out to you was wrong why did you not show us the part on the video where he stopped adding fuel because it was half full.. Guarantee it never stayed at half. Looks like yours was going to stay at about half an inch up the glass. But after you started driving I bet it went down some more.

The little notch in the other end of your filter wrench,has a vent wrench ,that’s what the u shaped notch, is for ,you should take vary good care to not crack the vent cap with chanalocks , ok thanks BigAl California.

Nate knows exactly what he talking about, great video!!!

That is actually water separator.

I could here the injectors crying as he turned it over dry

What a liar mechanic fuel filter takes what ever pump pushes you don t fill that filter after engine runs and he is using ranch his first tool has spot for that little cap...

pretty sure thats the water-fuel separator, main fuel filter is on the pump.

The deposits of the sludge stay at the bottom no need to worry about them

You don't clean reservoir with Break cleaner

Going to be following! Thanks for the video!

Overall, a great video. But I have a little trouble trusting someone who says....."We're going to do this the right way!" as they're pouring diesel from a gas can.

The dirt and water can damage the tip of the injector and make it melt a piston with the constant fuel delivery from the damaged tip

Great video thanks for sharing 👍🏾

great job there man, but you didn't put the ball ring on after replacing the new fuel filter

Chad lucky to have a good friend.

Dude they don’t prime them that way at speedco not because they don’t want to take the time to do it the way you did. They do t do it that way because they have an actual Davco priming machine. And plus the way he primed it was wrong all around because Detroit engines all have a hand primer.... And another thing, you do realize that the dirty fuel outside of the filter doesn’t make it to your engine right? That’s the crud that didn’t get through the filter. Nate is teaching ppl the wrong way and making it more complicated then it actually is.

Good video but misleading title. I was expecting the actual fuel filters to be changed.

Excellent video!! Your tech knows his stuff and he is doing it the proper way. Wish I knew where he was. I'm limping my 2011 dd15 back to Greer, SC with a cracked injector sleeve and what a trip it's been from Champlain, NY. Where is Nate located?

There's no electric fuel pump or lift pump on a DD15 or DD13..did he replaced the pre filter and final filter?

Thank you for sharing. Appreciate this

Thanks for the video

I wish I watched this earlier. I didn’t drain it all, there was dirty at the bottom and I left it there

Thanks ✌🏽

Tell the mechanic he don’t need to use the big blue wrench for the small cap on the top he can use the same wrench he used to loose the black thing on the bottom of the clear cup that why the wrench have like a sort of half small circle nice video anyway

Cool Video!

All mechanic should see this video to learn do a good job!!👍👍

There's no electric fuel pump on that truck, just on some Volvo trucks and Cummins that I know of. Unless, of course you want to install one.

omg wrong.....davco do not need to be prime like that...filters on motor do have to be primed a different way....dont run motors with caps off........he just got lucky he did not air bound fuel system....

Thanks awesome helpfull video check you later

Retitled this to fuel water separator filter...

This is wrong in so many ways

How comes he didn't prime d itt??

Hey I have a question a discovered metal shavings in my fuel filter engine runs fine 2015 cascadia dd12

Hello, a little question, can I use oil SA25W 50 in a dd15 engine?

That same round tool has a notch cut out for the small black top...🤣

dude who is that mechanic

Wrong way replace the fuel filter for dd15

What spray did you use to clean the cover ?

That's the fuel water separator..

That ain't a fuel filter. Its a fuel water separator

So much miss information!! This is so cringeworthy

I like that video but dude why you don't use the proper tools?

good mechanic!!!

CTHU! He said Speed Co

dude wash your engine at least once every two weeks

You got some wrong information buddy !!!!

That moron could have tightened the cap with the filter wrench. It has a smaller area on the wrench specifically for the cap. Also, the top cap should be on before starting the engine. You can turn key to start the prime pump with the cap off to help it prime but don’t start the engine with cap not secured properly.

2 rookies

Damn, cringe worthy for sure. Lots of misleading info. Stuff at the bottom of the filter, means it’s doing its job before it actually gets into the fuel module. Electronic fuel pump? New filters will operate with fuel, around where the collar is on the frame mounted filter. As it filters over time, the fuel level line will get higher and you’ll want to change it when the fuel level hits that line close to the top of that filter. NEVER, run that fuel system with the cap off again. Air is the enemy for this fuel system.

That Baldwing filter will last u 3 Days..
