The short answer to this is: YOU DON'T! I know it sounds crazy, but do yourself a favor and look at the fuel system parts diagram at the dealership's parts counter. The fuel filter assembly is a sealed metal unit with permanently attached Plumbing that has to be seen to be believed. Unless you have a really severe case of fuel contamination, do not undertake this job. If you really have to and can't afford the going rate at your dealer, patience will be your only ally in this undertaking. You will need to invest in really good quality fuel hose line removal tools. Snap-on, Matco, etc all have them. Do not be tempted into circumventing these fuel line connections with a piece of rubber hose and several hose clamps, the system provides too much pressure for these methods and it will leak, and that WILL start a fire. Good luck!
how to change fuel filter on a97 grand am
How do you change the fuel filiter on an 97 J30 infiniti and how do i know that i need to change it?
Change the air filter, spark plugs and wires, fuel filter(if necessary).
It's NOT a 1-person job! You have to drain and drop the fuel tank. The filter is inside the fuel tank. Not a job for the untrained.
The fuel filter is located in the gas tank on top of the fuel pump. you must drop the tank to the ground to do this do your self a favor get the full manual or at least a Chiltons or Hanyes book at auto store. P.S. that is the only fuel filter on the 97'.
The fuel filter is on the passenger side of the engine compartment, near the rear. Remove the filter from the holder, and pull it up high enough to remove the fuel lines. Reconnect the fuel lines to the new filter.
It is just above on the inboard side of the fuel tank. You will have to lower the tank slightly to change.
The fuel filter is inside the fuel tank, so you have to drop the tank to get to it.
Remove the gas cap, then look for a Schrader valve on the fuel rail. If it has one release the pressure there. If it has none, then wrap a rag around the fuel filter coupling and prepare for a spray of fuel when you disconnect the fuel line from the fuel filter.
To the rear of the fuel tank.
By the fuel tank
the answer is no to that i have a 97 wrangler se and when i went to tune it up i was told that the fuel filter is inside the tank
