Hi Fitted a new fuel filter some time ago and now need to do the 6000 mile "drain water from fuel filter". Found a piece of plastic tube that fitted the draincock and then turned the screw anticlockwise.
Hiss of air but no water and no fuel! Must be an air lock - closed off the bleed screw. No problem starting the engine. Stopped the engine and repeated the bleed procedure - same result.
First time I have tried this - Seems a straightforward job according to the Haynes manual. Do I need to loosen off the hex bolts at the top of fuel filter housing to enable fuel/water to flow from the bleed screw ?
Bit reluctant to do this as I have misplaced my locking compund to properly lock off the bolts when the job is completed. ( Peugeot charge £1.40 each for replacement bolts)
Or is it just normal if no water has been collected at the bottom of the fuel filter for no fuel/water to flow?
Any help appreciated
