Where do you put the sand on a Doughboy sand filter if there are two possible openings where the sand could go?

There aren't any openings period!
On the old doughboy sand filters there are a bunch of bolts all the way around it. You have to take them all out and the top half of the filter comes apart. On the majority of the newer filters you have a filter head on top that is completely separate from the filter. They are attached with a metal band that you unscrew and the filter head lifts off. Whichever one you have, since you should only be changing your sand every 5 to 7 years depending where the pool is and trees around it etc.....the gasket should be replaced just to prevent future leaking.
Now inside both filters there is a PVC tube with either a bunch of laterals aka fingers or there is a round filter. Both should be checked every time you change your sand for broken vents or any cracks. If there is any damaged, replace them. Damaged laterals or filters prevent the sand filter from working properly which usually results in sand getting into the tube and will be shot out into your pool through the return. When you get ready to put your sand in make sure you don't pour any in the PVC tube. It doesn't belong there. Pour around the tube, but first fill the filter up about half way with water so that when you pour the sand in, its taking the weight of it off of the laterals or filter which can be broken if the sand is just poured in.

Where is the air release valve on doughboy filter for pool?
It may not have one. Sometimes it is a black plastic knob. Or it could be brown. In any case the valve will most likely be plastic and on the very top of the filter unless the filter is not a vertical one then it will be on one end. What type filter is it. Sand, D. E. or cartridge? Ken

I just came from shopping for a Doughboy pool. The factory rep and the salesman said that there is a video for installating it. You could contact Burton Pools and Spas in Springdale, AR.

no i do not think that it could be the fuel filter, because the filter would choak the fuel compleatly out or mak it run like it is running out of fuel. the filter could be located under the body on the frame possible under the cab. possible spark plugs, or coil/distributor and could there be a leak in the vacuume system?
