What does the Manual say about replacing the Fuel Filter?

[hmmm]

Can someone tell me how to replace the Fuel Filter according to the manual please?

Thanks

It says
1)Remove the fuel pump fuse
2)start the engine
3)when it stalls, crank 2 or 3 more times to make sure fuel presure is released.
4)Turn ignition off and replace fuse

Loosen clamps, replace filter.

Be careful not to spill fuel over the engine bay, use a high pressure filter and leak check the lines after replacing.

Thanks Fast Guy.

Hopefully it only means you get fuel pouring out everywhere, like I had

You forgot to mention 1a) Extinguish all cigarettes

Followed this procedure today and there was no fuel spillage. Had to block of the pipe that goes to the fuel filter with my thumb though as there was some fuel still in there, but no fuel pressure.

In my case nothing. I got a dribble of fuel that I caught on some pre positioned kitchen roll and that was it.
Just be aware that you could get fuel coming out under pressure is you don't follow the procedure

Lol, i followed my own procedure, screw driver, pull hoses off, stick thumb over end of pipe, get sprayed in the eyes with fuel, least it didnt go to waste :lol: , stick pipes back on, fit into carrier and then start the engine, bobs your auntie. :lol:

Think Fast Guys method is the proper one though, although ive not had any prob's with it since and that was months ago
