Title: Fuel Filter
Post by RICHIJONES on Sep 23^rd, 2004, 8:21pm

Hi all
How easy is it to change the fuel filter? does the tank need to be empty and how do the pipes connect to the filter?

quite easy there richie,just remember to leave the car standing for 1/2 an hour or so (high pressure fuel line),on mine situated just above the rear axle,let the fuel pipes off a bit at a time to stop too much spray,and bolts MIGHT be little rusty so take care there,probably get a wet arm so also take precautions there,and finally dont forget to make sure you have and fit the new washers as well,tank does not have to be empty by the way,and fuel pipes are connected by 1 bolt at each end..

or remove the fuel pump relay and turn the engine over a few times to de-pressurise the fuel system... cheers ...STN
