How often: every 42,000 mi or 4 yrs, whichever comes first. Common-rail pumps and injectors are ruined by water and dirt.
Bulkhead uses every second service; some markets and engines need it more often.
Work safely: support the vehicle on axle stands, never a jack alone; let it cool first. Check figures against your workshop manual. You do this work at your own risk.

Step by step
Clean around the filter. Drain the water trap first if fitted.
Renew the element and seals.
Prime the system: on most of these engines, switch the ignition on and off several times (without starting) so the in-tank pump fills the filter. Some need a diagnostic tool routine.
Start and check for leaks; clear any fuel codes.
