Where is the fuel filter on a DD 8v71

[gus]

Just checking to make sure you aren't trying to remove the filter in the first photo (PS?) with a filter wrench!!

Probably not, but it is a horrible thought because it is removed by loosening the bolt at the top!

Note carefully the oil level line on the oil bath air cleaner. If you overfill it you may get oil into the intake of the air compressor. It comes off with a slight CCW (looking from the bottom) if it is like mine. There are various types.

It is really fun trying to get that monster back onto the housing without spilling the oil!
