How do you replace the fuel filter located on a 1986 Pontiac Fiero?

Answer 1

first disconnect the fuel pump and run the car till the fuel system is emptied--you will spill gas everywhere if you dont. 4 cyl engine has the filter in front of the air cleaner--two bolts 1 set attached to the filter and 2 on the fuel line--CAREFULLY loosen these bolts and a clamp on the filter--replace. 6 cyl. follow fuel system procedure, fuel filter located under car by rear passenger tire--its easier if you can raise the car and remove the rear wheel--follow safety procedures to do this. two bolts on filter and 2 on the fuel line and a clamp for the filter screwed into the bottom of the car. care must be exercised when removing the nuts on the fuel line use the proper wrench and have a pan to collect the gasoline that will come out. exercise care with the open fuel system to prevent accidents--just dont want to see anyone hurt
