Fuel filter

[knightrider]

Does anyone know of a diagram that shows where the fuel filter is on a 2002 SANTE python motor? Took the boat out for the first time after winter and boat started right up and then I couldn't get it to start. Ended up getting towed of the water.

I just did mine the other day in my '01 SAN Python. It's inside the black vertical canister called the Fuel Control Cell. It's located on the front starboard corner of engine There's a drain plug on bottom to drain any water collected if that hadn't been done it could lead to a no start issue. A strap wrech works good to un thread the canister. Filter is mounted to fuel pump inside
Mine must not have been done for a few years and the strap wrench didn't cut it. Had to disconnect all hoses, drain the can and take it to a vice to get the shell to unthread

Thanks Stew, I'll give it a shot.
