Cleaning the main prefilter for the engine, looks like it has not been done for a while.

Having this dismantled the filter into its parts it was time to get rid of the dirt out of the bottom of the glass bowl part of the filter. 

The dirt was stuck to the walls of the glass bowl and had to be wiped off the surface  and then washed out with cleaning fluid until the bowl was clear of any dirt or contaminant. Such as diesel bug that could top the engine when it is recommissioned. 

All the parts were cleaned and all the pipes and parts were flushed through to more sure  then was nothing that could be over looked when cleaning out this necessary part of the fuel system.

All the part were left to drain down over night and new seals and filter element fitted 

Then the whole filter was rebuild and checked for leaks and then got ready to refit in the boat.
