Warning! Gasoline is a dangerous and highly flammable liquid, so precautions must be taken.
1. The fuel filter is located on the bottom of the car, in front of the fuel tank (refer to accompanying illustration). Wash the filter before starting work. Also, before disconnecting the couplers, wipe them gently to minimize the entry of dirt into the fuel system.
2. To depressurize the fuel system, disconnect the hoses from the fuel filter. Disconnect both hoses, noting the correct position of the O-rings, then plug the ends of the hoses to minimize fuel loss.
3. Loosen the clamping screw, then remove the filter, noting its correct installation. The arrow on the filter should point in the direction of fuel flow.
4. Install a new filter. Make sure the arrow points in the direction of fuel flow, then tighten the pinch bolt securely.
5. Make sure the o-rings are in place and connect the hoses to the fuel filter.
6. Start the engine and check the filter for fuel leakage.
