882476001 Mercruiser PAN ASSEMBLY, Oil

Fuel leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or electrical components can cause a fire. To help prevent possible injury, turn the start switch off when changing fuel filters or water separator elements. Clean up fuel spills immediately.
Use a suitable container to catch any fuel that might spill. Clean up any spilled fuel immediately.
Do not allow dirt to enter the fuel system. Thoroughly clean the area around a fuel system component that will be disconnected. Fit a suitable cover over disconnected fuel system component.
Note: Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fuel System Secondary Filter - Replace" for information on replacing the filter.
Turn the keyswitch to the "OFF" position.
Open the air purge screw for the fuel filter by three full turns. Do not remove the air purge screw.
Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 30 seconds. Allow the starting motor to cool for two minutes before cranking the engine again.
Start the engine. The engine should start and the engine should run smoothly. If the engine does not start after 30 seconds, allow the starter motor to cool for two minutes before attempting to start the engine again. Note: You may use the hand priming pump (if equipped) for the fuel filter instead of starting the engine and running the engine.
While the engine is running, observe the air purge screw. When a small drop of fuel appears at the threads of the air purge screw, close and tighten the air purge screw. Note: There may be a noticeable change in the sound of the running engine when the air purge screw is tightened. The change in the sound of the engine is normal.Note: Failure to tighten all fittings could result in serious fuel leaks.
Clean any residual fuel from the engine components. The Engine Has Been Run Out of Fuel
Use a suitable container to catch any fuel that might spill. Clean up any spilled fuel immediately.

Turn the keyswitch to the "OFF" position.
Fill the fuel tank(s) with clean diesel fuel.
Bleed the air from the system by opening the fuel pressure regulator valve by two turns and another half turn. Note: Do not remove the regulating valve completely. Open the valve enough to allow the air that is trapped in the cylinder head to be purged from the fuel system.
Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 30 seconds. Allow the starting motor to cool for two minutes before cranking the engine again.
Crank the engine for 30 seconds. Use a suitable container to catch the fuel while you crank the engine. Allow the starter motor to cool for two minutes. Note: You may use the hand priming pump (if equipped) for the fuel filter instead of cranking the engine.
