How to change fuel filter

[shanks]

Ok guys this solved a major issue thats been pissin me off for a while. I recommend reading your owners manuel for the right time to change but then again for $14 wouldnt hurt to do it anyway if you have miles on it. Putting fuel injecter cleaner does so much but then again can cause other issues so if your having a starter issue as in it wont start up when you try to start the car and sounds like its gonna die from starvation, this may help out some.

I NOR LCN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES DONE TO YOUR CAR IF YOU MESS UP.

OK, So first youll need these items
-fuel filter from local autozone or advanced auto store
-fuel line quick disconnect tool

-jack stands or ramps to give some height
-rags
-10mm socket

Ok first you wanna have it on a ramp or jack stands on the rear, make sure you apply the e brake for safety. next pop the hood and go into the fuse block. take out the fuel pump relay and fuel pump fuse if u have them. start the car and let it die. This is to depressurize the fuel pump and not make it spray everywhere when u disconnect the
lines.



now go under and get your rags ready. the two on the passenger side just unclip, u just have to squeeze both sides and unhook. Fuel will still come out the lines so dont worry. now grab your 10mm and unscrew the bolt holding the fuel filter in place, then grab Now grab your fuel disconnect place it on the other side. push it in and pull it out.



(the one circled in blue is just to add more room but I just did it without takin that part down)

Now remove the fuel disconnect and place the new one in and hook all lines up. one of the lines on the passenger side are bigger then the other so it will only fit to its own size. screw it back in place and your done replacing the fuel filter. Go under the hood and place the relay and fuse back in and turn the car to the ON position and listen to hear it prime itself. after a min turn it off then turn it on again and it should start and your done.

Nice write up. I would say ditch the jacking it up stage and teach a skinny guy to do it thats what I did. Takes about 10 min that way.

What if i dont know where the fuel filter is?

[Hawaiian Whore]

[XenSS06]

No i know where it is and i have all my manuals, etc...

But a how to should have at least a few pics to help the true novice locate and under stand the project.

Just my opinion.

If you don't have a gut(unlike me) you can slide right under the car with no jacks or ramps, unless you are lowered of course.
