Clean all dirt and/or grease from the fuel filter fittings. "Quick Connect" fittings are used on models equipped with a pressurized fuel system. These fittings must be disconnected using the proper procedure or the fittings may be damaged. The fuel filter uses a "hairpin" clip retainer. Spread the two hairpin clip legs about 1/8 in. (3mm) each to disengage it from the fitting, then pull the clip outward. Use finger pressure only; do not use any tools. Push the quick connect fittings onto the filter ends. Mazda recommends that the retaining clips be replaced whenever removed. The fuel tubes used on these fuel systems are manufactured in 5/16 in. and 3/8 in. diameters. Each fuel tube takes a different size hairpin clip, so keep this in mind when purchasing new clips. A click will be heard when the hairpin clip snaps into its proper position. Pull on the lines with moderate pressure to ensure proper connection. Start the engine and check for fuel leaks. If the inertia switch (reset switch) was disconnected to relieve the fuel system pressure, cycle the ignition switch from the OFF to ON position several times to re-charge the fuel system before attempting to start the engine.
Remove the "hairpin" clip retainers to access the fuel line fittingsThe inline reservoir type fuel filter should last the life of the vehicle under normal driving conditions. If the filter does need to be replaced, proceed as follows:
CAUTIONIf the fuel filter is being serviced with the rear of the vehicle higher than the front, or if the tank is pressurized, fuel leakage or siphoning from the tank fuel lines could occur. to prevent this condition, maintain the vehicle front end at or above the level of the rear of vehicle. also, relieve tank pressure by loosening the fuel fill cap. cap should be tightened after pressure is relieved.

1. Shut the engine off. Depressurize the fuel system.
2. Raise and support the vehicle safely.
3. Detach the fuel lines from both ends of the fuel filter by disengaging both push connect fittings. Install new retainer clips in each push connect fitting.
4. Note which way the flow direction arrow points on the old filter.
5. Remove the filter from the bracket by loosening the filter retaining clamp enough to allow the filter to pass through.

1. Install the filter in the bracket, ensuring proper direction of flow as noted by arrow. Tighten clamp to 15-25 inch lbs.
2. Install the push connect fittings at both ends of the filter.
3. Lower the vehicle.
4. Start the engine and check for leaks.

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions section.
2. Properly relieve the fuel system pressure.
3. Remove or disconnect the following:
   • Negative battery cable
   • Push connect and R-clip fittings from the fuel filter
   • Fuel filter Fuel filter location and connections–2002–2006

1. Install or connect the following:
   • Fuel filter. Torque the nut to 17 ft. lbs. (23 Nm).
   • R-clip and push connect fittings
   • Negative battery cable
2. Start the vehicle, check for leaks and repair if necessary.

JUST RELEASE THE PRESSURE AT THE FUEL PRESSURE TEST PORT ON THE FUEL SUPPLY RAIL THAT SUPPLIES THE INJECTORS, IT IS A METAL VALVE LIKE A TIRE VALVE, THAT IS THE FACTORY RECOMMENDED METHOD..

SOURCE: mazda b2300 electric fuel pump no working

pumps are rare to fail on these. the quick easy thing to check is the inertia switch. if in a wreck or jarred hard, this switch shuts down the fuel pump to stop a fire and must be manually reset. it is located behind the lower kick panel on the passenger side of cab interior. its a little black switch with a red button facing upward. if tripped the button is up. push back down and it will re-engauge. try to start may have to crank alittle to prime. this procedure is in your owners manual too if need be.

SOURCE: Where is the fuel filter on a 1994 Mazda b4000 pickup?

Driver side frame rail right where the door is. It's held in by a large hose clamp. It has 2 white plastic clips . 1 on each hose of the filter. When removing have a container that can hold gas ready because about a pint of gas will come out. Make sure new filter comes with new clips. I don't recommend using old ones. After new one in place turn key on and leave in run position for 20 seconds so filter can gill with fuel before starting and inspect fir leaks.
