I never could have gotten mine off without this video. The explanation of pressing on the clips to pull them back was perfect, the detail about the O-Ring giving resistance helped a lot. 2001 Chevy Venture Van. Thank you so much!
Thanks! Helped me out a lot. Replaced it on my 2001 Pontiac Aztek. I don't think it had ever been changed. Couldn't find that pressure bleeder valve but really didn't have any problems when taking off the old one. Just let the car sit for a day without starting it. The nut on the mounting bracket was rusted solid and it broke off. Had to improvise a little to mount the new one but turned out all good.
Thank you for the video!! I soaked both ends in pb blaster for 24 hrs on my 94 pontiac trans sport. I was actually able to remove the fuel lines and clips by hands.
Wow your video is great. We are going to be replacing our fuel filter tomorrow. Now we know exactly how to do it, and where everything is. : ) If we were using stars your video would get 5 stars from us, sorry guess your going to have to settle for a LIKE!!!!!
Thank you sir, I was able to change it faster and save the time looking for the filter by myself, and I didn't know about relieving fuel pressure. Now my Venture 2004 starts at first attempt now is time for spark plugs and wires!
Excellent video, nicely executed. Thank you. I would like to add, you can simply dump that gas back into the tank if you are using a clean pan. Run it through a cheese cloth if there's any doubt of debris. Otherwise, you will need to find another way to safely and environmentally dispose of the gasoline.
Is the bracket in the replacement removable? If it’s permanently attached to the filter you probably want to save the original bracket in case the next one does not include that.
Quick note, when you purge the fuel rail, you also lét air in the system. When you change the filter you only loose little fuel anyway, it's a wasted step.
hi bud, i have a weird issue on my 99 chevy venture. van died on me, i couldnt hear the pump prime on ignition, i changed fuel filter, the relay clicks but i changed that as well, i replaced pump with a spectra after-market, it buzz's on ignition but dont not have any pressure, i even popped the fuel line off to the filter and zero fuel is present, its like the manufacture of the pump forgot to put in the impeller, i called supplier they told me possible bad pump, i removed and installed another new spectra pump, same darn thing again. i have now ordered an OEM pump, we shall see the results tomorrow. any ideas??? what type of voltage should i be getting out of the 4 pin plug that plugs into the pump unit? if the pump buzz's on 2 second prime does this mean the pump should be pumping??? did i get two bad pumps back to back. any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
good job showing the location of the fuel filter and if anything needed to be taken off to get to it. also showed whether it was located in engine bay or under rear of vehicle like some cars/trucks OH WAIT you DID NOT show any of that
It is under the vehicle behind where the fire extinguisher is in the video on the left side of the vehicle. We placed the fire extinguisher as a "marker" to show where the filter is. Nothing needs to be taken off, if you slide under there or use a mirror you can easily see it. Thanks , I could have made that more clear.
The fuel filter is under the van behind the driver's door bolted to the outer frame rail. The fire extinguisher in the video was purposely placed to indicate the fuel filter location. The filter is directly behind where the extinguisher is standing, but under the van. Sorry I didn't make that more clear. Good luck and have fun.
First of all great video, very informative. That little bottle with the turkey baster in it? Are you going to use that gasoline in a manner not approved by F.D.A.? Also kind sir, I am having problems locating the said fire extinguisher. Also if I don't find the fire extinguisher, how to you expect me to find the fuel ilter? One more thing, aaaaaaaggggggghhhhh!!!!!
Do yourself a favor and buy yourself two generic quick connect clips from an auto parts store. I reused mine and it broke in winter on an interstate with no gas as it leaked. Buy new!
Antonio Stephan venture silhouette transport montana. montana is a new transport. i actually had one that was a transport montana as they were changing the name i guess. it was a 98. same place on that as it is on my 2002. as it is in this video. i can lay next to my drivers side between tbe front and side door and reach to feel it.

Straight to the point, thorough explanation, and great angles. Excellent video.
Thanks for the detail information both On The Job and Notes. I am very greatful i found your page.
Thank you for the video!!
I soaked both ends in pb blaster for 24 hrs on my 94 pontiac trans sport. I was actually able to remove the fuel lines and clips by hands.
What an incredibly clean engine bay!
Wow your video is great. We are going to be replacing our fuel filter tomorrow. Now we know exactly how to do it, and where everything is. : )

Great video... informative and not too much talking or BS... Thank you...
thanks for sharing the video very helpful, going to have to replace mine pretty soon on payday.
Thank you sir, I was able to change it faster and save the time looking for the filter by myself, and I didn't know about relieving fuel pressure. Now my Venture 2004 starts at first attempt now is time for spark plugs and wires!
nice video.. even i think i can change the filter in our van!!!

I do know of a way to use the extra gas. Although it can be addictive. Have you subscibed to my channel.
The schrader valve is not accessible on my Venture. Pull the pump fuse and start it?

Thanks great video but still question, do I need to empty all fuel from the fuel tank before change the fuel filter?
Gilbert Wong no you dont have to empty the fuel tank. you wont lose that much fuel. especially if there is no pressure
Quick note, when you purge the fuel rail, you also lét air in the system. When you change the filter you only loose little fuel anyway, it's a wasted step.
Great video. Please also explain why to replace it and what problem it was causing. Thanks
Great video thanks bud

What's the year of this car?
good job showing the location of the fuel filter and if anything needed to be taken off to get to it. also showed whether it was located in engine bay or under rear of vehicle like some cars/trucks

It's directly in fron of the 25 gallon gas tank. Did you have prolems inding the fîre extingisher too. I am still looking.
Matthew Derrick thanks you
thank you very helpful.
Where is the filter under the venture
The fuel filter is under the van behind the driver's door bolted to the outer frame rail. The fire extinguisher in the video was purposely placed to indicate the fuel filter location. The filter is directly behind where the extinguisher is standing, but under the van. Sorry I didn't make that more clear. Good luck and have fun.

No te entiendo ni maíz viejo
the big problem is the filter is NOT where it's shown to be !!!!!
shoowwsassssss no help with Pontiac transport
Sorry, I thought the Transport was similar, must be the Montana?
I edited the title to the Montana not the Transport. Thanks for helping by pointing that out, my mistake.
Antonio Stephan venture silhouette transport montana. montana is a new transport. i actually had one that was a transport montana as they were changing the name i guess. it was a 98. same place on that as it is on my 2002. as it is in this video. i can lay next to my drivers side between tbe front and side door and reach to feel it.
