Technican: Hello, Well I'll not be able to get you a diagram before tomorrow. When I get one where shall I FAX it to ? Will a cover sheet be needed for the FAX?
The fuel filter is often found on the frame rail under the car. If you follow the fuel lines that connect to the fuel tank forward along the frame toward the engine, I believe you'll locate it. Use caution as the fuel line may well be under pressure and spray uncontrolably til pressure depletes. I even take the gas cap loose to rid any pressure in the tank from the emissions system or thermal heat expansion.
Please advise.
Technican: Did you locate the fuel filter? Do you have a FAX number?
Please advise.
Technican: Hello?, Do you have a FAX number? The fuel filter is in the tank and is part of the fuel pump. I can send you replacement instructions if you like.
If you'll just respond I'll know whether to FAX what I have for you, or type it on this site.
Owner: I do not have a fax machine. Thank you for the help. Please type to me further instructions if at all possible.
Technican: This is the instruction I found for the fuel filter replacement. You'll see the filter comes off in step #4.
