Replacing Fuel filter on 2018 Branson 3520H

[gwisejr]

Can someone tell me how to replace the fuel filter on a 2018 Branson 3520H? The dealer that I bought the fuel filter said that there are three different possible filter assemblies for that model and I had to send a picture to him in order to get the right one. The issue that I have is that there does not appear to be a fuel shut off valve anywhere that I look on the filter or on the fuel hoses running to it. I've attached a couple pics for reference. I've downloaded some of the manuals that some users have been kind enough to share,but the don't seem to match what I have.



Thanks

Don't know about your particular tractor, but some filters shut the fuel off when you remove the filter.

Don't worry to much about a shut off..{right now}.. just use a pair of vise grips on the rubber hoses..
THAT will keep the lines from completely draining..
They also make a SPECIAL TOOL to crimp rubber lines also..
..but for general purposes, a pair of vise grips will get u where u need to go.
Good luck..
BTW> your dealer really sux..

That's the new style filter. It's on my 3725. I can't find the filter PN at the moment. On my 3725 replacing it just requires draining the filter body and unscrewing the bottom part. The white knob on the bottom is the drain, and the small nipple on it is where the fuel comes out. You can put a hose on it to direct the flow into a container before you unscrew the knob some turns to drain.

Since the 3725's fuel tank is below the filter there's no need for a shutoff or clamping the lines. Your 3520 is the same.

Once you replace the filter you use the silver knob on top to pump fuel into the filter body. Somehow it eliminates the air (maybe it recirculates back to the tank?). You don't want to suck air into the injector pump.
