Changing My Fuel Filter

[Bubba9110]

So I was reading an article on here about how to change your fuel filter and it said for you to locate the fuse for the fuel and then start the car then while it's running pull the fuse out to take the pressure out of the lines and filter. So I went and looked at my car's fuse box and I didn't see any fuse that would correspond to the fuel filter. So my question is on a 2g talon which fuse do you pull to do this? Thanks.

There's no fuse for gas filter..... this is non sence just disconect the batt. And remove it. Then take care of the fuel filter. Its as easy as that. Just make shure you don't ruin your fuel line... while your at this remove the emission canister to make the engine bay look bbetter

You could just unplug the fuel pump wiring harness. I believe it is under the seat on a 2g. I just did mine today. Be ready with a rag because there will still be fuel in the lines. Do a search for "relieve fuel" and change it to search titles only and there is a thread with some info on it.

Ok so I read some of that stuff you suggested on searching for and I guess the wiring harness is under the back seat on the driver's side. So I'll look into that today. Also what is the emission canister for and what does it look like?

It looks like a big black cylinder with hoses.. and also do a vacume line delet. Insted of having like 50vacume lines ull have 3 or 4...

OP, the fuse they're talking about is the fuel pump fuse or relay, it's usually easier to get to than taking the back seat out of a car. The charcoal canister they're talking about is part of your emissions system, it may or may not cause a check engine light if you remove it but WILL be noticed as missing whenever you get your car inspected. I don't know about Oregon laws on removing emissions components causing you to fail a safety inspection but you might want to check before removing it.
