I got in there and was looking around. Is the fuel filter above the differential? I check my shop manual and it is the worse drawing and instructions that I have ever seen. Any help or guidance to a 'how to' would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

there is this feature called a search, USE IT!!!
hahaha always wanted to say that, i was reading it earlier today so i knew what you were doing when you change mine, haha

 

i heard it was pretty difficult to replace the fuel filter, so i just took it into a shop to do, only charged about 110 bux

 

only charged about 110 bux

LOL

is that all?

why more people don't relocate the dumb thing to the engine bay is way beyond me....one of the first mods I ever did....I use the K&N washable filter with quick disconnects and and clean it every 3k in about 5 mins, tops

 

Yea screw the damn fuel filter peeps. Get a damn K&N and never have to buy a new one gaain. Just clean and lube that sucka .

 

It is easy to change the fuel filter if you take out the power plant frame and disconect the drve shaft from the differential

 

Its not that difficult to get it unbolted, its getting the lines of that is hard, I did mine last night and now that I think more about it I am going back under their to relocate the damn thing...!

 

Really? where and how much

 

I used a couple of pen caps to block the hoses, while off the filter. After the first time I changed it, I'll NEVER do it again. I'll probably relocate it next time. It's a pain in the azz, but one of the must do's for any FD owner.

I have changed it myself and next time I will just pay the $100 not because it is hard just time consuming

 

Err, i was talking about the air filter....damn my intelligence!!!
/me smacks head against a chain wall

 

Where's the info on changing over to the K&N filter?...sounds like a good idea

 

ok sorry, I found some info through search "K&N fuel filter", etc...anyhow now that this post has been pushed back up - anybody have a suggestion to relocate the K&N somewhere safer than in the hood - maybe where it was, but in an easier to reach spot?...any suggestions...?

 

how involved is relocating the fuel filter to the engine bay? do u pretty much just get more hosing and run it to the engine bay??

 

I'm not too sure, I haven't read it all yet, but here's the link I found:

lol rotary power did mine for 60 bucks total

 

Garfinkle relocates the filter and bracket down ,behind the rear end on the sub frame ,drill two holes and replace the hoses . A safe place and change the filter in 2 or 3 minutes

 

duboisr - sounds like a good idea - I think I might try this out. Any more info about this? Is Garfinkle in the forums? Thanks...

 

anybody?

 

Relocating it is so easy.... Just got ou and get about a foot in 5/16" fuel hose from local auto store. A K&N Billet Micron 5/16" barb fuel filter (not sure on part # but check knfilters.com). Also get 4 5/16" worm gear clamps.

Pull off the old filter from above the Diff. then replace with the fuel hose & clamp. Next cut the FUEL IN line for your engine, be sure to leave some room on both sides. Slide the new fuel filter on and clamp both sides. The K&N has a flow direction symbol so dont get that mixed up. If you want to get really fancy you can do the gauge thing.

Me and the rikki man did mine, easy as pie, took say an hour or so with me and him goofing around and doing some other work on my car.

 

Remember guys fuel line is for carberator cars and Fuel Injection line is you you will need. Thats why the fuel injection line cost like 4x more than regular fuel line. Changing the fuel filter is pretty easy, i know the hose is usually stuck on there pretty good, all you have to do is twist the fuel line to break the seal and you can just pull it right off.

 

or you could just leave it where it is at and take 30 mins out of your day and change it, its really not that hard, first time it took me 30 mins. then same day went and changed a friends in a little less.
