AirDog Owners

When you change your filter, do you loose a gallon of diesel?

I'm changing mine for the first time since I put it on, and I'm afraid to unscrew the filter all the way thinking I'll loose my full tank of fuel. As I turn, it doesn't let up any...

I put a ball valve infront of my PPE so I wouldn't loose fuel. I would think that the Airdog doesnt allow fuel to pass when changing filters?

Yes u will lose some just do it quick, that's how I did anyways...

!!! Glad I saw this! So if ur fast its only a gallon?! Hmmm, guess Ill change the filter n neighbor's yard then:thumb:

Well, this is Bull****..

Man I can't stand this diesel pouring in my face to do this, much less if I can't get the new one lined up fast enough. Then I'll have 20+ gals of fuel on the ground.

I'm disappointed that AirDog didn't put some kind of stop or turn off value. Seems fuel is flowing directly from the tank.

unscrew your fuel cap

I use straight-jaw vise grips. They don't hurt the lines. Just throw one on each line and very little will be lost. If you have a couple of cheap quik-grips clamps, they work in a pinch, but make sure you get them on well.

Just what I was about to post

I mounted my ad higher than most. So I didn't have any problems. Or just change it when the fuel level is lower.

I'm going to get up earlier before I have to go in so I can try this. Irritating.

Nothing like going in smellin' like diesel!

After the first time or two of dealing with the same situation, I waited until I was below 1/8th of a tank to change the AirDog fuel filters. Now all I lose is just a dribble. Low fuel level = low head pressure = no mess. Try it.
