So i changed my fuel filter today because i have no idea the last time its been changed and once i got the damn thing out curiosity got the better of me and i cut the filter open to see what was going on in there, and let this be a lesson to everyone. If you dont remember the last time you changed it or thinking about putting it off DONT!

 

Wow ! you can plant produce in there



Later

 

Looks nasty... were you having fuel delivery problems??

Wait a sec..... is that the SHOCKER in the background??!?!! HAHAHAHA

 

special plate to mount his shocker.

 

why yes that just so happens to be a shocker sticker, and no i wasn't having any delivery problems, but i was noticing my fuel pump staying on for longer when I cut the key to the ON position. Now everything is back to normal.

 

Yep they look like toilet paper inside. I cut one apart years ago. That is why I recommend changing them every 15k miles minimum.

 

damn i my fuel pump was doin the same thing, great this is going to be a pain in my ***.

 

Ihor and I relocate every FD filter that we change to the rear subframe, tucked up behind the fuel tank. Makes it a 5 minute affair to change the filter. We've been doing it for many years, since the Gotham days

 

i agree. people think its overkill but i also prematurely change my oil and coolant. it really minimizes problems so im not complaining

 

have some pics?

 

time for a relocation on my filter.

 

i didnt think it was all that bad to be honest a pain yeah, but it wasn't as bad as people hype it up to be.

 

Yeah, I think I want to relocate mine too. I can see it, but I'm afraid to try to get it off...

 

Wow i just did mine and what a pain in the ***! The fuel coming out of the filter was poo brown i am glad i did the change that could not have been good.

Anyone have pics of the relocation.

 

Where do you guys buy your filters from, the dealership. My dealership said the filter was like 70 bucks and they had to order it.

 

I think there is one on my myspace page. Otherwise I'm about to do one for a customer so I will post some. We used to clamp the filter to the subframe but I am now re-tapping the stock bracket and using an existing stud on the fuel tank cover to mount it on. It should be less than $70.

 

rotary performance (rx7.com) has them for 25 bucks, where i got mine from.

 

I did mine a while back, it was the color of "mars" inside. there was grass in there too. I should check my new one to see if it could use a mowing.

D-

 

I found quite a few examples when i searched, looks pretty strait forword still a pain though.

 

rich you wanna come down to florida and move mine? lol. i am changing mine in a couple weeks after i get it in.. bought it from rx7.com for 25$

 

Noooo thanks

I've done a few of them but Mr. Ihor is really the Master Relocator, I'm sure by now he's done over fifty

Ok I just purchased a Canton filter and was orginally thinking I would have to mount it in the engine bay (heat, uhg!) by mounting by the fuel pump resistor. Think I will now mount on the subframe.

 

I've ditched the stock fuel filter, and just relocated this to the engine bay.

 

what does everyone think of the aeromotive filter with the valve that doesn't spill fuel everywhere?
