Replacing Fuel Filter seal part number ESR 3806

Kenneth Smith · 19th March 2021, 12:39

Hi, can anyone advise me how to replace the Fuel Filter seal part number ESR 3806 on my 2003 Rover 73 Tourer. I'm replacing my Fuel Filter but would like to replace the seal at the same time. I assume the housing has to be completely removed to achieve the change of seal so I will have to disconnect the feed pipe from the Fuel Pump presumable. Any advise how to do this. Regards Ken

Hello Kenneth, have a read through this. The tank port seal only fits one way.

EDIT: Oh yes, don't forget to fit the orange clip!

Thank you Tcut very kind if you to send information to me. Still not quite sure how to get the Filter Housing completely out to replace the seal can you advise please. Regards Ken

You push the seal over the top of the filter cap and down, so it can be positioned around the edge of the tank port.
