Installing Fuel Filters
In-line fuel filters are installed in the fuel line. In carbureted engines, the in-line gasoline filter is usually installed between the fuel pump and the carburetor. In vehicles with a fuel injection system, the location of the fuel filter is determined by the manufacturer. An arrow on the filter shows the direction of fuel flow.
To install a new filter, begin by wiping the male tube ends of the new filter with a clean shop towel.
Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male tube ends on the filter.
Check the quick connectors to be sure the large collar on each connector has rotated back to the original position. The springs must be visible on the inside diameter of each quick connector.
Then install the filter in the proper direction and leave the mounting bolt slightly loose.
Install the outlet connector onto the filter outlet tube and press the connector firmly in place until the spring snaps into position.
Grasp the fuel line and try to pull this line from the filter to be sure the quick connector is locked in place.
Then, do the same with the inlet connector.
Now tighten the filter retaining bolt to the specified torque.
Once everything is connected, lower the vehicle, start the engine, and check for fuel leaks at the filter.
Good luck.
