Part: Diesel filter
Operation: How to start a diesel car after replacing the fuel filter.

In this video tutorial, we can see a simple procedure for starting a diesel car after replacing the fuel filter: the first thing to do is to have a can of dashboard polish spray. After replacing the fuel filter, air enters the circuit, so the car will have difficulty starting; when we have reassembled the fuel filter, there is air in the circuit, so the car does not start on the first try, which puts extra strain on the starter motor. Therefore, we disconnect the hose that brings air to the intake manifold and then open it. Once the hose is disconnected, the car will not start, so we spray the dashboard polish spray inside and keep the car running with the same spray. When we stop spraying, the car shuts off because the fuel pump has not yet recharged. By spraying the dashboard polish spray again, the car remains running because the air in the circuit has run out. This procedure is excellent for restarting the car after running out of fuel. After doing this, we reassemble everything and the car will work without any problems.
