Find the fuel pump inertia (aka emergency shut-off) switch located behind the passenger side kick panel and press the button to disable it. crank the engine a few rounds to relieve the pressure. change the fuel filter and reset the inertia switch.
Fuel tank must relieve pressure before you remove it.
May be a clogged fuel filter. If you change it yourself you need to relieve the pressure first or you will get a face full of gas when you loosen the filter line.
relieve the pressure in you fuel system by disconnecting your fuel pump the change the fuel filter the hook your pump back up
how do you change a fuel filter and were is it located on a 2000 xlt ford ranger
on my 1994 ford ranger, i just removed the holding rings on each end of the in and out line very slowly until the pressure was released. you will get a bit of gas spray but nothing serious. hope this helps. fordman.
Depress the Schrader valve on the fuel rail mounted on the engine. It looks like the valve stem on your tires.
You don't. Just make sure the key is not on (best to not have it in the ignition at all) When you loosen the fuel filter, the pressure will relieve by leaking on the ground. Expect less than a half cup of fuel to leak out from pressure. The remainder fuel will be from inside the filter housing. Get ready to get your hands soaked in gasoline. Dont listen to that guy. You can relieve the gas pressure by simply open your gas cap and leave if off the entire time when you're working on your fuel filter. Some fuel will still leaks out from the fuel filter but at least it's not going to spray on your face.
where is the fuel filter located on 96 ford ranger supercab
it isn't necessary to relieve any pressure prior to replacing the fuel filter on the 2005 Impala, however be mindfull of the gas tha is in the lines and in the filter when it comes off
remove the fuse for the fuel pump and try to start the car, if it starts it will only run for a second or two then die, then you have relieved the fuel pressure.
Under hood, driver side, mounted on upper firewall in fuel line. Loosen the gas cap to relieve any tank pressure. Look for a Schroeder valve on the fuel rail, to relieve fuel pressure. When disconnecting the fuel filter wrap it with a rag and be prepared for a sudden spray of fuel. Buy the new filter and you can then see how it is connected.
First loosen the gas cap and relieve any pressure in the tank. Now look on the fuel rail for a schrader valve and push it to relieve the pressure. It will look like a tire valve. If you find none, then just be prepared for a spray of fuel when you disconnect the fuel line. Wrap it with a rag to prevent the spray.
