1979 Pearson 323 Volvo Penta MD11 fuel and air filters question

(1/1)

diamondgirlsails:
Diamond Girl is a 1979 Pearson 323 (hull 163) with a Volvo Penta MD11 diesel engine that is running great.  I need to change the fuel filter (I have an internal filter canister on the engine, and an water separator mounted above the engine on the port side).  Can someone provide a supplier for ordering the correct part(s)? 

I'm assuming I'll need to pump air out of the fuel lines after I change the fuel filter.  Any tips/suggestions when doing this?  I have the manual and have read those instructions, but just looking for 'real world' encounters with this process. 

How do I go about cleaning the air filters?  Are there parts I need for the air filters?
