Fuel Filter: Service and Repair

FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT
1. Reduce the internal pressure of the fuel pipes and hoses by completing the following operations:
- Disconnect the fuel pump harness connector.
- Start and run the engine until it stalls, then turn the ignition switch to OFF.
- Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
- Connect the fuel pump harness connector.





2. Remove the eye bolts while holding the fuel filter nuts securely.
CAUTION: Cover with a shop towel to avoid gasoline from splashing.
3. Remove the fuel filter mounting clamp bolt, then remove the fuel filter from the clamp.
NOTE: Be careful not to lose the flat washers. These washers function as gaskets and must be present on re-assembly to prevent leaks.
4. Torque the fuel filter to the main fuel line.

Torque: 30 - 40 Nm (22 - 29 ft lb)

5. Torque the fuel filter to the high pressure hose.


6. After replacing the fuel filter, check for fuel leaks with the system pressurized (ignition key ON).
