Fuel Filter: Service and Repair

REMOVAL


1. Relieve fuel system pressure by starting engine with fuel pump relay (circuit open relay) disconnected and let run until engine dies. Then slowly and carefully remove hose on outlet side of fuel filter. Cover with a clean rag while removing hose, to avoid spraying fuel in your face.

2. Slowly and carefully remove the hose connection on the inlet side of the filter.

3. Remove filter and plug hose connections to prevent any dirt or other contamination from getting into the fuel system while servicing.

Be careful not to introduce any contamination to the system when installing new part.
