How do you replace the fuel filter located on a Ford Tempo?

Answer 1

The fuel filter is on the passenger side in front of the strut tower. It's really simple to replace. The filter should come with two clips. 1)pull the top clip out from the plastic fitting from the fuel hose to the 'in' of the fuel filter (be careful not to damage the fitting). 2)have a small container cause this might spill a bit and pull the white plastic clip out of the plastic fitting on the bottom of the of the filter. 3)the filter should be loose from the fittings so just pull them off. this is when a bit of fuel should spill out of the filter. NOTE: it the black fittings loosened up from the hose just clamp them with a 1/2" hose clamp. 4)replace the filter with the 'flow' arrow facing down (for most tempos)or which ever way the old one was facing. 5)press on the black fittings and push the NEW white clamps into the fittings on the top and bottom. 6)make sure everything is tight, start up the car and check for leaks. i hope this helped.. check me out sometime...www.cardomain.com/memberpage/647040 Good luck
