Westerbeke 30B3

[Stan]

I'm going to replace both the primary and secondary fuel filterson my Westerbeke 30B3 engine. The manuals are no help. After replacement I'm assuming I'll have to bleed the system. Can anyonetell me where the bleed points and priming valves are?

No need to bleed the engine, it's self bleeding. You may want to make sure you have the primary filter bowl fairly full with fuel which will make restarting easier. (you wont have to wait for the pump to refill the bowl)Watch the threads on the engine mounted filter. They're fine and easy to mis-thread. Otherthanthat it's pretty easy to do. Good luck.
