What is the best procedure to make sure you don't get air to the injectors?
I have changed fuel filters on a 54 hp Yanmar before, but not this engine.
Any help would be appreciated.

First off, I would not skimp on the filter itself. I would use the Fleetguard filter spec'd for the engine. Other than that, just fill the filter up with diesel. It is not terribly important that is is exactly full. These engines are considered "self priming" so they will get the air out on their own. I just try to avoid that scenario. It is not uncommon for it to start and then die. Once it starts, I run it up pretty good in hopes of passing the air before it dies. But usually just crank on it a bit more and it will start right up. Super duper simple!!!
