How do i change the fuel filters without bleeding

Could be the fuel filter needs to be changed and drained and checked for water.

I have a chevy c3500 with a 6.5 turbo diesel, the times that it has happened

to me was because of a dirty fuel filter or water, most diesel have a bleed off

valve to dissipate any accesss water in the fuel line, on my truck is located

on the right front side of the engine . you bleed it off when the engine is

turned off. good luck

Have you checked the fuel pressure on it? Fuse? Pressure to the engine?

WELL LACK OF POWER NOT REACHING TOP SPEED.YOU COULD HAVE OBSTRUCTED EXHAUST.CLOGGED FUEL FILTER.DEFECTIVE FUEL INJECTION PUMP OR INJECTION PUMP TIMING OFF.DEFECTIVE TURBOCHARGER OR WASTEGATE.

change the delivery fuel pump right before the injector pump should 100% solve the problem. thanks

Hey man I had the same problem it is the fuel pressure control sensor, you can buy one on ebay for about 100.00 I did and problem solved

yes, on engine.base part #9155, Item #40, big round thing in picture

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Fuel Charging And Controls Fuel System
The fuel system used on the 7.3L direct injection (DI) turbo diesel engine is controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650).
The fuel system components consist of:

• electric inline fuel pump (9350).
• high-pressure oil pump.
• fuel filter (9155).
• oil pressure regulator.
• oil pressure sensor.
• fuel pressure regulator (9C968).
• high-pressure oil pump reservoir.
• water in fuel switch/fuel heater thermostat.

Please don't forget to rate!!!!

Diesel Engines The 6.9L and 7.3L diesel engines use a one-piece spin-on fuel filter. Do not add fuel to the new fuel filter. Allow the engine to draw fuel through the filter.

1. Remove the spin-on filter by unscrewing it counterclockwise with your hands or a strap wrench.
2. Clean the filter mounting surface.
3. Coat the gasket or the replacement filter with clean diesel fuel. This helps ensure a good seal.
4. Tighten the filter by hand until the gasket touches the filter mounting surface.
5. Tighten the filter an additional 1⁄2 turn. NOTE: After changing the fuel filter, the engine will purge the trapped air as it runs. The engine may run roughly and smoke excessively until the air is cleared from the system.
   

i dont know about the turbo going bad,but i do know that ive seen 7.3 diesel have bad injectors,usually 2 at a time, check for fuel at the injector which can get messy so wear protective gear such as goggles and gloves,while running crack open the fuel line at the injector to see if there is fuel,it should run rough which is good on the working cylinders,if it doesnt change then maybe a bad injector,or not enough fuel pressure at that injector.injection pump issues are another thing,but most likely its an injector.

you simply have to bleed the fuel lines...

to do that just loose up the line and have someone rotate the engine until you have some fuel going there...

make sure that your fuel filter is full because you will do this for nothing...

it should only take like 5 minutes of bleeding...
