Fuel Filter: Description and Operation

Fuel filter





On model year 1985 and earlier cars the fuel filter is mounted on the left-hand wheel arch, in the pressure line between the fuel pump and the fuel injection manifold.

On model year 1986 and later cars the fuel filter is mounted underneath the car on the right-hand side forward of the fuel tank.

The filter consists of an aluminium housing holding a nylon filter and a paper element.
