Cit Dispatch HDi - fuel filter change - Cyd
I have a 2003 Citroen Dispatch (a recent purchase). I'm giving it a service, but I cannot work out how to change the fuel filter. It's Hdi engine with Bosch injection.

Can anyone describe how to get the canister open please?

The idea is that you don't get the canister open and thus transfer all the grit on to the clean side and ruin the pump.

You remove the quick-release connectors, lift the whole unit out; then drop in a complete new unit and refit the pipes. Time taken; thirty seconds. Risk of destroying fuel system - none.
