Video tutorial

This video tutorial shows how to replace the diesel fuel filter on a Dodge Ram. Locate the fuel pump connector and disconnect it. After removing the cap to drain the fuel from the tank, wait until it is completely empty. Then loosen the steel clamps that secure the supply and return fuel lines.

Once freed, they can be removed. Now you can take out the old filter and replace it with the new one, retrieving or replacing the O-rings.

Next, insert and tighten the new filter in place and reconnect the previously removed lines. Finally, restore the electrical connection of the fuel pump.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
