Good morning,

Thanks to Thibaut for his tutorial. Personally, I replaced my diesel filter when I had just filled the tank (without thinking about it…), so it kept leaking from the disconnected inlet pipe, so I quickly replaced and reconnected the pipes except the top one (memory return). By doing this, it filled the filter automatically (communicating vessels) until it overflowed through the orifice not yet reconnected ==> and therefore no need to purge or reprime! ;o)) Started at the quarter turn and no problem since.
