David I remember bleeding the fuel line when I change the filters on my M4-30. Bleeding was no big deal and I believe it is described in the manual that I have, which is packed on the boat under cover so I can't refer you to a page …be sure to shut off the fuel from the tank when you change the filters. It has been about 5 years since I changed those filters...I use less than 20 gallons a year and I filter everything that goes into the tank and keep it full over winter but I know I followed the procedure in my manual.
