How do i change a fuel filter?

do i need to know anything before changing it? will gas pour out at me? and if so how do i stop it? and will their be air in the lines?How do i change a fuel filter?First of all, before you get going to do it, do you know where the fuel filter is located? It will either be a round canister looking thing on the frame rail with one rubber line coming out and one going in. That will be easy, some gas will come out, but as long as you have the car off, it will stop within a few seconds, just watch your face! If you are unlucky, the filter is in the fuel tank, which you will definitely not be able to replace yourself unless you have the tools and are confident you can drop the gas tank and put it back in. Good luck!





Oh, and, when you are done, turn the key in the on position (without starting it), then off, on, then off, then on, then start. This will ensure that the pump re pressurizes the system.How do i change a fuel filter?what year and make of vehicle?

bleed the pressure first to avoid gas all over problems.

WayneHow do i change a fuel filter?Depends on the type of car and the type of filter. Some are easy to get to, some are under the car. Some are connected with hoses and clamps (easy), some are connected to hard lines and require a special release tool to get them loose. You will get gas on you, and air in the fuel lines isn't an issue. Not the amount you will get from changing a filter. To be more specific, I would need to know the make, model and year of the car.How do i change a fuel filter?-what kind of car is it,and yes it will spray u will need to depressurize it
