How Do You Get To The Fuel Filter On A 2006 Diesel Itasca Meridian?

by Don
(Texas)

Had my motor home serviced, They could not get to the diesel fuel filter on the motor home

The motor home is a 2006 Itastic mederian
with a 350hp Cat motor. How do you get to the fuel filter.

ANSWER Hi Don, well, I have searched high a low to see if anyone is having this problem with a 2006 Itasca Meridian Diesel Pusher and I have found no one else that is experiencing this problem. I am going to assume that you did not have the servicing done at a Winnebago Dealer. If you did, I would take it back to them and have them tell you exactly what the problem is.

I cannot figure out any reason why the fuel filter cannot be replaced. If you had the servicing performed somewhere other than a Winnebago dealer, you could go back to where you had it serviced and have their mechanic call the service department at a Winnebago dealer and talk to one of their mechanics to find out the proper procedure for replacing the fuel filter.

If this was a problem with this particular year and model, I would have found some complaints about it.


I am sorry that I could not give much help to you on this issue, but it is really hard to determine what the problem is here without physically looking at your rig.

by: RV TECH

SOME DEISEL UNITS REQUIRE TWO FILTERS, ONE LOW THAT IS USUALLY EASY TO REACH, AND A SECOND HIGH ON THE MOTOR BEFORE THE INJECTOR LINES. tHE MAIN IS AFUEL WATER SEPARATOR, THE OTHER IS USUALLY A REPLACEMENT FILTER ONLY THAT HAS A REMOVABLE LID.
IF YOUR MANUFACTURER DID NOT GIVE A LARGE ENOUGH OPENING IN THE BEDROOM AREA, AND THE TECH WAS A BIGGER PERSON, THEY MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REACH FROM THE TOP OR FROM THE BOTTOM IF THEY WHERE USING AN OIL CHANGING PIT. I STRONGLY AGREE WITH AL, TAKE IT TO THE SHOP WHO SERVICED AND HAVE THEM SHOW YOU WHY IT WASN'T ABLE TO BE DONE.
THANKS TIM.
