Title: Fuel filter change on a 2.7 CRD
Post by: gregwho on August 02, 2010, 04:10:11 PM

Hi Guys

Has anyone changed a fuel filter on a WJ 2.7 CRD Grand Cherokee?  Mine's due for a service and i avoided doing the fuel filter change last year cause i was paranoid about getting air in the system and not being able to bleed it.  I dont think i should leave it any longer now though!

If anyone could post a quick how-to or any hints and tips, i'd be really grateful.  I found a guide from a quick google for a Liberty 2.8, but i bet the WJs more complicated and probably doesnt have an easy to use bleed valve!

Thanks all

not specific to you model, but clamp the flexi each side of filter before removal and pre fill the filter with fuel, this should minimise any air in the system

Good idea Nosebolt, thanks, i'll do that for sure.  I'm sure theres going to be a little bit of air in the system no matter what I do, so will cranking the engine push this through eventually?!
