Now that you have taken off the bolts, make sure you keep them properly. You will need them while fixing the new fuel filter.
Third Step – You can now easily remove the old fuel filter. While removing it, you may also find that a small clamp. A screwdriver can be used to release this clamp.
Fourth Step – Closely observe the position of old fuel filter before removing it because you have place the new one in the same position.
Fifth Step – Don’t forget to change the washers too. It is important that you change the pressure washer that can be found with the fuel line bolts.
Sixth Step – Now take the new fuel filter and place it at its position. Now just try to snug down the clamps. Fix it properly and tightly so as to prevent any fuel leakage. Also fix the bolts that you had kept aside. Make sure you tighten them properly with the use of wrenches.
Seventh & Last Step – Start the Engine to Check. Once you have replaced the fuel filter, you need to run the car’s engine. Now check the fuel filter for any loose connections. Also check for fuel filter seal.
