If I can disconnect the fuel filter without huge leaks "Exxon Valdez style", how do you clean the filter? Or is it a sealed unit?


When you disconnect the fuel hoses from the filter there will only be a small amount of fuel that will come out. Quite a bit of fuel is retained in the filter which if kept horizontal will stay in, the filter is a sealed unit.
