Hi everyone I'm new to the dsm game and looking to do the regular maintenance necessary for my car to run normal. I already have spark plugs, wires, oil, and pcv valve changed and I'm looking at doing the fuel filter next, I just purchased an oem filter from extreme psi and I'm going to install it as soon as it arrives. Only problem is I want to be absolutely sure where the filter is located and what I need to do it. I've done filter changes on other cars and they've all been located right underneath the gas tank but upon a little research on 2g dsms I've found it could either be underneath the battery or under the passenger side so a little different from what I'm used to but I want to be sure where it is because I don't have much time between work and school but I refuse to take it to a shop for a simple job like this. It's a 99 gst and thanks in advance!
 
Should be under the battery tray. To my knowledge all turbo 2gs are under the battery tray. I would use a flare wrench to take the bottom line out. The top line can be removed from the two 10mm bolts holding the assembly from the fuel rail. Be patient with it and dont break the hard line while twisting. If you feel the wrench is stripping the nut, lock a vice grip on it. Good luck.
 
Thanks for the replies, so it seems this job is going to require a bit more time and elbow grease than I originally thought. And I'm going to need to get pressure out of the lines correct?
 
Yes. You can start by opening the gas cap and letting it sit for a long time so the pressure drops. Or disconnect the fuel pump and start the car so it burns all the fuel in the system. Either way, do not go undoing fuel lines on a hot engine, you wont like what happens LOL
 
I'll definitely be taking a look at this after work, I was tackling maintenance how I did my last car (this is only my second) so this is a big help.
No problem bro! There is TONS of great info under the "resources" tab at the top of the page. This is BY FAR the most excellently designed and easy to use forum out of any I've seen with the added bonus of the entire DSM community being in one place. It's really incredible that it is supported by mostly voluntary donations. Big shout out to @Ludachris for putting so much time and effort to make such a great and helpful place to be.

Don't forget to say thanks to our Supporting Vendors down at the bottom of the page, and please do patronize them! If not for them this place might not be around still. And the Moderators and Wisemen have played a huge role in shaping this site since the beginning. Those guys have volunteered countless hours helping others and providing extremely useful information without asking for anything in return (except maybe that more people use the Search function LOL ). They deserve WAY more gratitude from the DSM community than they ever get. And the Supporting Members are extremely appreciated as well obviously. If not for everyone involved we would not have the great features we have on the site, as well as some features that are being rebuilt to be even better. It's a community effort and I'm thankful to be a part of it.

Not many other enthusiast sites offer half of what this site has and you can thank all the groups I mentioned above for that. As for me, I just pull levers and turn knobs to keep the thing afloat. Everyone who builds a fast DSM and shares their experience here and inspires others to keep wrenching on their TEL deserves thanks as well.

That was inspiring. *slow clap* such a humble guy too. FP is one of the vendors and the green is a great turbo for your goals so I'd recommend that.

Wow it makes me really happy to be apart of such a helpful and friendly community, I've been a spectator of the forum for a while and I finally wanted to become a member and I'm glad I did.
 
Your results may vary but I do not relieve pressure. By the way gas cap does not do anything. I crack the fittings on a cold engine and catch the spray in a paper towel. There eill be a little fuel spilled so I wouldnt do this inside. Common sense with gasoline applies here etc etc

So then I don't need to unplug the fuel pump? I'm a little confused now :confused:
 
So then how would you approach it? Your way seems little less time consuming
 
The pressure in the tank actually can cause the fuel to continue dribbling out while you have the lines disconnected. I have a GST in my shop right now with the engine out, battery disconnected. We pushed it in the other day, and I discovered gas flowing out of the damn thing. When I loosened the cap, a ton of pressure blew out, and the gas quit pouring onto the floor.

I don't do it either, just use a t-shirt rag or old socks or something thick so it doesn't soak through if you can. And obviously don't do this while hot and make sure all the gas is gone and dry before you start etc etc. Remove the battery and tray for some extra room its helpful and takes 2 minutes. Makes it safer and easier to keep the gas from leaking too much. Just vent the AIR pressure by loosening the gas cap and you're good to go :thumb:
