    Default In-line fuel filter Volvo penta 430 1991

    I just found out this engine has an in-line fuel filter that has not been changed in years.I am having trouble loosening the small nut on the fuel line from the housing holding the filter.I am using 2 wrenches but the smaller nut on the line wont budge and I dont want to break anything.Any ideas on how to un stick it.Thanks.P.s.The engine is red if that helps.

    Make sure you are using line wrenches and if there is any corrosion, hose it down with PB-Blaster, let it soak overnight.

    The only fuel filter an a 430B is the one in the lower right of the picture below and the filter is a spin on. Could you take a picture of your fuel filter?

    I did the spin on filter and also found a filter in the gas line going to the carb it's about an inch long and looked like it was there for a bit.Thanks for the diagram Don.
