Is the fuel filter on the 06 LS located @ the Under carriage driverside passanger door area? and what should i know about replacing it? i just bought a new one from walmart
Unless you want gas spraying all over the place when you disconnect the line, pull the fuel pump fuse and start the car and let the engine stall.
Or you can just hit the inertia (sp) switch located on the drivers foot behind the lower panel.
I never tried that; I wouldn't think that actually relieves the pressure in the fuel line. Or does it?
I am wanting to replace my fuel filter also. Has there been a "How-To" write up regarding this?
I wouldn't worry too much about running the fuel out. Let it sit over night and do it in the morning. Virtually all pressure should be gone. Could also just hit the fuel pressure gauge valve on the fuel rail.
Not usually a good idea to run an engine dry; not saying you'll kill it right then and there... but...
Ahem... I am one of the stupid guys who changed it immediately after driving. It was not a lot of fuel, but it got all over my jeans and hands. It was MAYBE only 3 ounces of gas that spewed out, and it was over before I could do anything about it lol. I didn't even have a rag handy when I did it. I will next time
I will do my fuel filter this weekend, is there any aftermarket brands you would suggest?
... undo the r clips, the inner one first, pull the filter out, replace, put clips back, bolt, slash gaurd, and wheel, thats all...
the r clips can break easily, ...
