I want to replace my fuel filter today. The T/A has 92k on her and I have NO IDEA if this was ever done. Any links to how-to's on this? (I've checked shoebox's awesome website, but didn't find anything on replace the fuel filter)

Thanks in advance.

 

It's easy. First bleed off the fuel pressure at the fuel rail by pressing the schraeder valve. Have rags handy, fuel will squirt out. Then raise the car and replace the filter. It's under the car toward the rear on the driver's side. Have more rags handy, and eye protection is a good idea. It should not take you more than about 1/2 hour or so.

 

Don't forget to open the filler cap to relieve the pressure.

 

That's not the way to relieve fuel pressure. As stated above you do this using the shrader valve, which is in the back on the fuel rails.

 

Huge thanks. Glad to know it's simple. I bought a $10 pureolater fuel filter...hope it doesn't bite me in the @$$.

Thanks again.

 

this is how i did mine.......

1. drove the rear of car onto rhino ramps
2. I removed my gas cap to remove some pressure (didnt do the schrader valve)
3. took off the rubber hose connected to the rear side of the filter (fuel will come out, but will stop shortly)
4. get a pair of needle nose pliers and sqeeze the metal loop thing that holds the filter in place.....and remove it
5. get 2 wrenches..1 for filter and 1 for fuel line...unscrew filter from line
6. just reverse the process to install

Overall its very easy, but be very careful you dont twist the fuel line like me... I ended up having to get a new fuel line because i wrenched too hard and twisted and crimped the line. Replacing the line was cake....but cost me 50 bucks at a dealership!

Good luck.....like i said it should be very easy.

Very easy to do, everyone is right. When i put my inline pump in, i bleed off fuel pressure by unscrewing the fuel car, and pushing in the valve in the back between both fuel rails. Do wear eye protection it does splash out , haha got me in the forehead (wheew). Be careful with the lines too ..... that one guy paid 50 bucks for a new line ????? should bought a braided stainless steel line ...... oh well. good luck ?

 

like said above, its VERY easy. DO wear eye protection though, gas can cause eye damage and burns badly.

 

Done. Damn that *WAS* easy. Now only if the plugs/wires were that simple....

 

I didnt know there was a braided stainless line out there......but i had to get all three fuel lines, because the dealership didnt just sell a single one...and the 50 bucks was at wholesale price.
