Recently got my hands on a 1997 F250 7.3 with around 150k miles on it. Runs great, and I've been starting to get more adventuresome with doing any maintenance I can on my own.
Here's my question.. I will be replacing my fuel filter in a couple of weeks for the second time. (I'm going to change them every 8k) Last time I replaced it, I followed instructions I found online. Something I was wondering though, is after draining the fuel with the little yellow tab, how much should I fill the fuel bowl with new fuel before putting the new filter in? I've read and seen videos online saying I just need to prime it by turning the ignition for several seconds several times, but my 97 doesn't prime. The bowl stays empty. Is this normal for a 97? Is the goal here to have as little air as possible in the fuel bowl before closing it back up and starting?
Thank you in advance for any help!
