Removal - Engine-mounted fuel filter
The engine-mounted fuel filter is a plastic disposable cartridge. To
remove it, do the following:
1. Disconnect both fuel lines by
squeezing the connector tabs and
pulling the lines straight off.
Note:Although the fuel system is
not fully pressurized when the
vehicle is off, some residual
pressure may remain in the fuel
system since it can take some time
for the pressure to completely bleed
off. Therefore, it is recommended to
place a shop rag below the filter
connectors to absorb the small amount of fuel that will drain.
2. Loosen the bracket bolt.
3. Rotate the filter counterclockwise until it unlocks from the bracket.
4. Pull the filter straight out from the bracket and discard the filter.
Installation – Engine-mounted fuel filter
1. Install the new filter into the filter
bracket. The filter has two locking
tabs: one on the bottom and one on
the side approximately 180° from
the bracket bolt. Line this tab up
with the slot and the bottom will
follow. Turn the filter clockwise to
lock it in place.
2. Tighten the bracket bolt until the filter is snug in the bracket.
