Z1 Fuel Filter

[kknobl58185]

I'm guessing your 09 has an engine by PCM, where as the above setup is Marine Power. If so, yours could have a pre-filter then the filter/H2o separator. It also may have a low pressure and high pressure pump.

yes i have a pmc... i was a little confused thanks for clearing that up... like i said im always up for new info the more i can learn the more i may be able to help down the line...thats why i love this forum great info with great ppl

Please confirm I have this correct before I attempt this tomorrow. Flicking between the two threads this is how I see the fuel filter replacement working, correct me if I'm wrong.
a. Unscrew the bolt which appears to hold a plate at the bottom of the fuel canister. the plate has two water hoses attached to them. This plate "should" come off easily from the canister.
b. Unscrew the canister which contains the fuel filter.
c. Replace the O-Ring
d. Replace the fuel filter
e. Screw the canister back on. (Do I need to add anything to the threads to prevent corrosion?
f. Attached plate with the two water hoses.
g. Turn battery isolator back on.
h. Start boat.

I dont recommend taking the lower plate off this is the water cooling system for the pump, just remove the 2 hoses , then your next best thing to do is remove the fuel lines and electrical plug and remove the entire fuel cell from the boat, this lower cup requires a strap wrench to remove it and ussually wont come apart in the boat.

Thanks Dom and Others.
I followed your advice Dom and removed the hoses. It was quite a simple job. I did not have to remove the whole fuel filter from the boat. I just unscrewed the canister with a strap wrench. Glad I did change the filter, there was probably a little finger nail of debris in the bottom of the canister.
Now all I have to do is finish re-building the raw water pump buy fitting new bearings and reassembling, then fitting to boat. This to has been a quite easy project.

I did also check the fuel/vent surge protector and pulled it off to inspect it. I checked it by blowing through it. Is it suppose to retard if you blow hard? When I blew at a medium level the flow was not restricted, but blowing harder the valve seemed to close and retard the flow. Anyway, I gave it a clean and fitted it back to the boat. I also had to redirect the hose as when I was fitting the cover that goes over the fuel tank, I noticed it sat on top of the hose. This was perhaps the real reason why I too was getting gas showers.
I will refuel this week and see if it has made a difference.

That's the low pressure fuel pump with water cooling lines.

There is only one filter that I recall.
