The fuel filter is located on the right inboard side of the unibody frame toward the rear portion of the vehicle but forward of the gas tank. You can either use a screw driver or a 8mm socket (depending on clamp). There will be a 10 mm bolt that holds the fuel filter to the unibody rail. Make sure when pulling the fuel line from the filter to hold a rag over the end of the filter you are removing the line from to prevent the excess fuel from spraying you and everything around you. For a beginner it will probably take you 20-30 minutes, but if you are mechanically inclined it should take around 10 minutes to complete the job. When the job is done and you are ready to start you Cherokee up cycle the ignition on and off a few times to build the fuel pressure back up and it should start right up. Hope this helps.

1979 el camino fuel filter

if you have a quadrajet carb it will be right at the fuel inlet, front of the carb. you may have an inline filter instead or also, this would be in the line between the fuel pump (front left side of engine block as you look at the engine) and the carb

i usually remove the one that is in the carb and put in an inline filter myself, it makes replacement so much easier.. the carb housings like to strip out

I want to know how to service my 2000 Audi A3 myself. Oil change, oil filter change, plugs. What tools do I need?

You'll need some Metric wrenches and sockets and a rachet. Also, an oil filter wrench to fit your oil filter and a spark plug gapper. Don't forget to check the air filter and replace the fuel filter.

Stalled, leaking gas on drivers side by the rear door, i believe its a fuel pump? 2003 ford expedition. Can I replace it myself?

I replaced my filter on my 2003 also but you dont need special tools, you just squeeze the tabs on the connectors and pull them off. you might have an o ring missing on the one of the 3 hoses on the filter. The filter is under a plastic cover by the fuel tank near the driver side rear door.

Replacement of 1991 Toyota Tercel Fuel Filter

i wouldnt do i fuel filter unless it is for sure that it needs to be done.

try changing the plugs and spraying out the throttle body in front of the butterfly plate.

there is going to be a lot of black carbon builtup preventing the tbi from breathing at an idle position.the inside of the throttle body or tbi should be very nice and clean.
changing an fuel filter thats not needed can cause more problems for an extra cost.of the not needed parts.fuel filters only should be replaced at a loss of power or pickup or something like that.
anything rough is in plugs and intakes.

hope this helps
thank you

Changing air filter and fuel filter

Both are under the hood and easy to get to. As for the Air Filter nobody beats K&N they are simply the best. Any fuel filter thats the right one will do.
