While I was out ordering my Taylor Wires today decided to stop by NAPA and get a new fuel filter (NAPA Gold, of course). I know where the filter is located and looks to be a pretty easy swap once the fuel is outta the line. Is that a safe assumption? Is there any special instructions or tips from the people that have done this?

thanks

You might want to release the fuel pressure with the schrader valve on the injector rail. I can't remember if i did this or not, but fuel kinda went everywhere.

or pull the fuel pump fuse and turn it over for 30 seconds or so.

Make sure you have line wrenches. PB Blaster is nice to have also.

ok, I have both of those at my disposal. I'm going to do this in my auto shop class tommarow....

as long as you can easily get the part with the threads off it is REALLY easy. I'm gunna guess you have a lift, so that will be even better.

that'* correct....

get a pair of needlenose pliers...great for undoing those plastic clips on the fuel line. They were hard to get to on my 93 because other lines were in the way, so i used needlenoses

ok, thanks!


anyone else?

you should be fine...if you're in an auto shop you have more than enough at your fingertips to do what you need.

First of all, a 92 doesn't need line wrenches.

The needlenose pliers were good advice.

Take a shower IMMEDIATELY after swapping in the new filter. Why? Because you absolutely CANNOT change this sucker without getting fuel on you, even if you run it out, pull a fuse, or bleed it at the rail.
