hi, do u mean the filters on the "shut off "solenoids? if so your tank should have a manual tap that you turn to switch gas supply off manually. if this is the case switch it off then proceed to remove/unscrew the filter/s. some gas leakage is inevitable as its wots left in the pipe. so long as you retighten the filter bowls afterwards there shouldnt be any issue with air in the system. may take a few extra cranks of the enginetho to fire up if starting up on gas initially . also you should disconnect the power feed to the solenoid too as a safety precaution. thats how we do them here anyway!!!!!!!
