MF 165 diesel changing the fuel filters

[mlinnane]

There must be some type of shutoff for the fuel line that goes into the fuel filters. Does have anybody have idea what it looks like and were it is located? I went to change the fuel filter and had a heck of time as I did not know were the shutoff was. Thank you for any help with this question.

On my old international dozer from 1972, there were two inline petcocks right where the fuel lines left the steel fuel tank. I would start at the tank.

You'd think they'd make provisions like that but not necessarily. My Kubota has no in-line shutoff before the filter. If your MF has a rubber line, though, you can clamp it with vise grips or a C-clamp or similar. The steel lines can be clamped, too, but they don't open up so easy when you're done.
