Fuel Filter

Postby BZG Wagon » Sat Apr 23, 2005 7:07 pm

Could someone post a pic of the location for the fuel filter on an AE101 Black Top. Are they hard to replace?

Should be 2 lines from your fuel rail, one goes to the tank and one goes to the fuel filter. Probably located on the firewall slightly to the passengers side of the car. Not too bad to replace, just undo it from the lines going to it (probably one on top and one underneath) and remove the mounting bracket.

I hate fuel filters, atlest the ones on AE92's The fuel line on the bottom of the filter alwyas seems to be done up super tight and impossible to get at.

just get a new filter, then you'll be able to easily spot your current one by comparing the two :P

left front wheel needs to come off to make it easier.

its quite low in the engine bay, and you need flair nut spanner
