Replacing Fuel Filter

[Jerith]

I recently tried to change my fuel filter, got the top line off with no problem, but the bottom line gave me enough trouble to the point I gave up. Does anyone have any tips on an easy way to do this to avoid breaking my lines?

Also I smell gas, and I dont know if its in my head but it seems that I burn gas faster than usually, any ideas?

(The smell started after I put an cone K&N filter on, probably nothing to do with it right)

Thanks for the help

yeah I just did mine, but a 14mm tube wrench, put a 19 mm wrench or whatever on the filter to hold it and turn the tube wrench or flare nut to get it off. mine was a pita tooo

Yes the Fuel Filter is a PITA. But once you get it off and run water thru it you will see why it was worth it.

Somone on the site said to put the 14 on the bottom next to the firewall, then turn the 19 on the top.

Muttedtsiawd What did you mean run water through it?

he just meant, after you replace the old one, run water though the old one and see how dirty it is.
