Fuel filter change on the side of the road.

Make sure a cop doesn't see you. Fuel on the ground, you inna heap o' trouble , boy.

 

That's why I carry both, and a strap wrench. Although my engine will prime itself.


You might be able to drain the fuel water separator, I have the same one you do, and usually you can get 50 or so miles out of it before it goes south again so you can get to a TS where they can do it easy with your filters.

Or do it yourself, just buy some fuel to prime.

Change both filters.

 

The Volvo D13 has a PRIMING pump guys ...

 

Dont dump your old dirty fuel out your old filters into your new ones, it's about guarantees to be a serious pita.

 

Fuel was probably bad... At least somewhat.
You should be able to go the full PM intervals without needing to change.

You should get yourself a Davco as soon as you can though, to avoid this exact scenario. Soooo much easier..

Get some sleep brother!

 

On the side of the road I’ve always used howes lubricant to fill filters in the past ..

 

My spin on fuel filters I change within 20000 miles. Only a couple times needed before that.
Just like your current situation.
Good luck

 

Filters are cheap, just do it. Years ago, fuel was so dirty, sometimes I'd go through 2 filters in a week with the old Cummins. I carried a gallon jug of fuel and a couple filters always.
