I tried changing a fuel filter on a 2002 saturn vue and the line wouldn't quit leaking? I pulled off the fuel pump relay and let it run out of gas before I started but it still wouldn't stop leaking? What do I have to do to stop the leaking?

When you change these fuel filters, they are basically gravity fed from the tank if the tank is full enough.You sometimes have to just hurry up in the fuel filter install process and slip that filter back in quickly, a little bit(sometimes more) will be spillled on the ground, can catch it with a drain catch bucket.Any questions get back to me, I HOPE I COULD HELP!!!

Low fuel pressure

Possible causes:
Bad fuel pump relay
bad fuel pump
bad fuel filter
clogged fuel line
bad fuel pressure regulator
contaminated gas or gas tank
Throwing parts at this problem could be more expensive than having a shop do it.

Ran out of gas, car wouldn't crank replaced fuel pump, fuel relay, and in line fuel filter and still won't crank on 2002 chevy avalanche

still won't crank ? how's your battery ? starter ? starter solonoid ? if your engine does'nt crank , its dead ! would'nt you check the battery first ? then move on with checking the starter circuit ? seems like your putting the cart before the horse ! first of all, when you run out of gas, you need to replace the FUEL FILTER, your engine just sucked the dirt, garbage, etc., out of the tank. there's plenty of sediment in the tank, don't know how it gets there, but, you'd be surprized ! talking threw experience !!! I operate heavy equipment, its a cardinal sin to run out of fuel !!! you say you replaced the inline filter, which one, up by the engine or the main filter, under vehicle along frame ? are we talking about the same animal, PLEASE CLARIFY !

I am working on a 2003 Saturn Vue. The fuel pump relay trips after the car has been running for awhile. i replaced both fuel pumps, fuel filter, and the fuel pump relay. The problem remains. Any...

How is it "tripping" ?
The pump gets a signal from the ECM as long as the ECM knows the engine is running.
Is the check engine light on ?

How do you change the fuel pump on a 2002 saturn vue?

Determine which fuel pump your Saturn VUE will need. This depends not only on the make and model, but also the engine size. Models made before 2008 may have a 2.2 L L61, 2.4 L BAS hybrid, 3.0 L L81 or 3.5 L L66 engine. Current models are offered with a 2.4 L LE5, 3.5 L LZ4 and 3.6 L LY7 engine.

Prepare your vehicle for fuel pump servicing. Relieve the fuel system pressure and disconnect the negative battery cable with a socket wrench. Disconnect the fuel tank.

Disconnect the fuel pump's electrical connector, fuel lines and hoses. Remove the retaining ring for the fuel pump with wrench SA9156E and disconnect the retaining clip by pulling it toward the float arm and lifting up. Lift the fuel pump out of the fuel tank and discard the old fuel tank seal.

Install the new fuel pump using the items included in the kit and be sure to replace the fuel tank seal. Install the lock ring on the fuel pump with tool SA9156E and connect the fuel lines and hoses. Plug in the wiring harness, connect the fuel tank and negative battery cable.

Start your vehicle to check for leaks.

Where is the fuel filter on a 2004 saturn vue 3.5L? The car quit running this morning, tried to start back up but stalled again. Starts with starter fluid, but stalls. Dealer said try the fuel filter...

It is part of the fuel pump module inside the fuel tank, all the cars are starting to use this type of setup, the filter is only serviced when the fuel pump fails.

Ok i got a 2002 saturn vue..code was saying bank 1 bank 2 running lean..the vue runs perfect ,sometime at park it would idle hi.anyways i have replaced the mass air flow unit..turn off light,comes back on...

I had exactly the same problem .Mine was corrected with replacing the O2 sensors .The sensors cost less than $30 each but cost about 20 mins labor per sensor .So if you got an honest mechanic the total cost will be around $130 .

Fuel filter

You have to use a special pair of pliers that have pointed tips on them to reach into the line openings & depress the the 2 green tabs while pushing inward on the line.Once you have them pressed in the line should pull back & disconnect.hope this helps
