How To Change a Fuel Filter
If you’re looking to do some simple maintenance on your vehicle that will help to keep it running smoothly and efficiently, a new fuel filter is a great place to start. We will run through on how to change a fuel filter in this article. Your fuel filter screens out junk from the fuel such as paint dirt, rust, etc. that gets put into the fuel line from standard operation and filling up your tank at the pump. The better it is at its job the cleaner and more efficiently your vehicle will burn fuel, providing better mileage and so on. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to replace yourself. Depending on how old and clogged your fuel filter is it could easily pay for itself in savings at the pump, too!
First thing on how to change a fuel filter
Put the new filter in place and connect the old lines. Replacing the fuel filter is essentially the removal in reverse. Make sure you connect the old filter using the same bolts and process you used to remove it. Make sure the bolts are tight and secure and that the fuel filter is snug in place. If it was clamped in initially, make sure it’s fit snugly in the clamp. Once everything has been double checked, simply replace your fuel pump/relay and start the vehicle. Let it idle for a minute before taking it for a quick test drive.
