Could someone tell me more about how to replace the fuel filter on my 98 TA? Exactly where is the filter located, and how do I disarm the system to replace it? Is there anything else I need to know? This is my first time replacing one......

 

The fuel filter is located on the underside of the car by the rear driver side tire.

Remove the fuel gas cap. Get lots of raggs. Remove the bolt holding the gas line -removing this bolt will lessen the pressure put on the plastic gas line when removing it from the fuel filter- and remove the filter. Once you remove the filter some gas will still pour out then it will stop and you can then put on the new filter, be carfull when taking off the filter you don't want gas in your eyes. Its not to technical at all.

Make sure you wear eye protection, because there's a slight spray and it will get in your eyes, learn from me gas in eyes=pain.

 

Since the filter is the same as used on the LT1 cars, replacement should be the same. The schrader valve location will be different.

 

Thanks guys!

 

Well, you're half on to something here. Removing the gas cap equalizes the pressure in the tank, but does nothing to the pressure between the fuel pump and engine.

If you want to get rid of the fuel in the lines, pull the fuel pump relay in the underhood box, crank the engine for a few moments, then the fuel is gone.

No fuel spills.
