fuel shut off

[Jonathon Truwit]

Hello

I am about to do my first fuel filter change for a 355 and it appears the fuel shut off valve is under the bed in the aft berth.   Is there one more proximal to the primary fuel filter?  Given the line is full of fuel, it should stay full with valve shut off at berth, but just seems like a long distance away from the bathroom "closet"

thanks

That's the only valve that I've run across.

I believe that is the only one.  But it doesn’t cause any issue.  The fuel filter will not back flow.  Just replace it.  Recycle the fuel in the fuel filter canister.  Close it. Then bleed it with the bleed lever.

This is timely!  So  do you guys shut the main fuel line shut off off prior to doing fuel filter changes?

[Jonathon Truwit]

Yes, but you need to turn it back on when using the pump on top of filter. 

Also, even if not chaining secondary filter, still use butterfly pump to bleed screw on top of secondary filter
