Fuel fliter changing

[markm]

Is changing the fuel filter on my 20 hp Yanmar that big a deal? In the past I had a company do that for me. They are now closed and I figure I better to learn to do this myself. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I just turned in my R-21EC for a R-25. The two seasons I owned the 21, I did all my own oil and fuel and oil filter changes. The 21 had the 30HP engine. Doing the work yourself is considerably less expensive and it helps you gain familiarity with the engine. Just be sure to purchase the right filters and oil. I was told by the Yanmar maintenance facility here on Cape Cod that Rotella(?) is the oil of choice.
