I'm gonna change fuel filter tomorrow.
I've read WebTech, it seems to be pretty easy:
-disconnect fuel pump harnes and muffler belt
-start engine
-when engine stalls - turn off ignition
-disconnect negative terminal from battery
-connect fuel pump harnes
-remove filter
-install new one
-reconnect negative terminal
-drink beer (don't forget to lube mufler belt and put it back)

But maybe there are some points I should know before I start doing it.

 

The hardest part is breaking the bottom fuel line fitting loose. Be very careful or you will damage or break the fuel line. I know there have been tips posted before so you might want to search for them.

 

have fun man, its a pain in the ass.

nothing complicating at all, its just a mess down there. i suggest having a set of vice grips handy. it seemed like one of the sizes for the thing was a little off any metric or standard wrenches i had.

oh yeah, and eat your weaties before hand. also make sure you put it back on TIGHT or gas will leak(make sure you check after you start the engine.)

 

it's all pretty straight forward really, just remember to stand back when you release the muffler belt, those things can hurt when they let go.

 

mine took about 20 minutes, the lower part kept turning the line, so it was kinda a b****, but installed with no problems.

 

You know, I hate to say it.. but this is one piece of maintance I have been ignoring. 109,000 miles on the original fuel filter.

 

lol...do it now.

 

I think tomorrow is better. Dark out there right now

 

Thanx guys!

Mad, maybe your OEM filter is flow-through now? ninja.gif

 

i changed my fuel filter the first time at under 20k on the odo. and done it once since then.
