Answer 1

# The fuel filter is located under the vehicle on the right side,in front of the gas tank # Relieve the fuel system pressure,then disconnect the negative battery cable # If necessary raise the vehicle and support it securely.Remove the filter heat and rock shield # Inspect the fittings at both ends of the filter to see if they're clean.If more thena light coating of dust is present clean before proceeding # Release the clips holding the fuel lines to the filter # Detach the fuel hoses,one at a time,from the filter.Be prepared for fuel spillage # After the lines are detached,check the fittings for damage and distortion.If they are damaged in any way during removal,new ones must be used when the lines are reattached to the new filter. # Remove the fuel filter from the mounting bracket,while noting the direction the fuel filter is installed.
