I tried to remove the fuel filter on my Stihl BR600 blower through the filler neck, but the fuel line is too short. Common complaint, I guess. Is this just some kind of planned job security for Stihl service folks?

Can anyone tell me, step by step, how to replace the filter easily. It's so simple and quick on other equipment. :frown:
 
Okay, I'll try the coat hanger next time. The manual seems to be the correct one; however, there isn't any mention of "fuel filter" in the entire document that I could find. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
 
Yeah, it did seem odd that I didn't see the phrase "fuel filter" in that section.
...just hoped it would have something useful in there somewhere for ya.

Thanks,
It did have info on the air filter. I searched the entire document, using the find tool, for "fuel filter", but no luck.:msp_confused:
 
well heck, just strip it to that point, per the manual (should tell ya the best route )
Bingo, your there.
Pop the line cluster out of the tank and do your filter maintenance.

For a short time they made the fuel lines real short requiring you to take the tank off to replace the fuel filters. Its a real pain in the butt because you have to take almost all of the housing plastic off to remove the tank. Have fun!
 
just stretch the line to get it off ,, most of the time the line is fine.
