Fuel Filter: Service and Repair

REMOVAL

In-line Fuel Filter Removal:

1. Remove the upper eye bolt while holding the fuel filter nut securely and remove the high pressure fuel hose.

CAUTION: Be sure to reduce the fuel pressure before disconnecting the fuel line and hose, otherwise fuel will spill out. Cover the hose connection with a shop towel to prevent splashing of fuel that could be caused by residual pressure in the fuel line.

2. Remove the lower eye bolt while holding the fuel filter nut assembly.





3. Remove the fuel filter mounting bolts, then remove the fuel filter from the bracket.

INSTALLATION

2. If the fuel line does not have a stepped section, connect the fuel hose to the line securely.
3. Install the fuel filter, and tighten the fuel filter bracket.

In-line Fuel Filter:
