    How *not* to change fuel filter (i.e. how i did it):
    1) 1 hour of pulling on fuel lines, trying to figure out how the clamps work.
    2) 1 hour of trying different household pliers, screwdrivers and whatnot to undo the clamps.
    3) Fuel lines undone at last, drench everything around (yourself included) in petrol. Bonus points for petrol in eyes, mouth and any open wounds sustrained during point 2.
    4) Inserting new filter real quick and suspiciously easy, expecting the car to catch fire for next week or so.
    5) After surviving the one week period without any major fire and/or sudden fuel line defect, filter change can finally be called succesful.

      Me too I suspect that my fuel filter is faulty it's cheap enough to try that first mechanics didn't relieve the pressure and it squirted all over they were doing a fuel pressure test they put it back together and it ran fine they don't know what was wrong next day it broke down and traffic and I had to pay $140 tow bill to bring it home so I'm going to replace a fuel filter cheapest place to start

    I just did this on my '82 VW Rabbit and it worked great! I'm really impressed at how the acceleration improved! Even when downshifting the engine runs noticeably smoother. For $13 (cost of the Bosch filter), that's the best bang for the bucks I could get! :D Also, the trick of removing the fuel pump relay was smart, I only got about 1 tablespoon of gas spilled!
    The only unexpected thing I had was that, after changing the filter, even after turning the key to the ON position for a few seconds, I had trouble starting the engine, I had to press the gas pedal for the engine to start. I guess there was air in the filter, because after a 20 minutes ride, the car restarted without any problem.

    Thanks so much for this. First time I've had to remove a fuel filter today and I think the original had been left on the car it's whole life! (19 years). Absolute nightmare I was about to give up on until I found this vid and you mentioned the hook/toothpick idea. After a bit of brute force and jiggery pokery - she's off and the new one's in! Also renewed the screws and nuts holding it on (thanks to my mate with a jar of PC spares) as the originals were so ancient. The tool we used wasn't perfect and we slightly damaged the end of the fuel hoses getting them off, but with the new retaining things on nice and tight it doesn't seem to have had any ill effects. I'm gonna invest in a hook tool for this purpose now! Thanks again!

    Your videos are great. My brother refuses to take his vehicles to a mechanic. He has had vehicles that would have an issue and he would change parts to try and find which part is bad. He would sometimes find the problem right away and other times he would spend a lot on replacing several parts before finding the problem. There are some things he has to let a mechanic do, but he always try’s to figure it out himself. I told him to watch your videos. He drive trackor trailer and is home one weekend a month and so his truck sits most of the time, I would be surprised if he puts more then 500 miles a year on it. His biggest issue is regular maintenance. He believes that since it sits so much that he doesn’t need to do regular maintenance on it. I just told him to watch your videos, he could learn a lot.

    • @KOakaKO
      @KOakaKO 8 років тому +1

      +Paul Wilkinson - The filter in a diesel engine is even more important than a gas engine. Mainly because people neglect it, and there are more gelatinous bits of crud in diesel fuel than gas. They are generally recommended to be changed twice as often as a gas filter. More times than I can count, I've miraculously made a diesel-engined truck suddenly run like new because I replaces the filter. People tend to neglect it, and it gets all clogged up with crud. If you've never changed your filter on a diesel engine, go change it whether it needs it or not. Then write down the mileage on the filter itself with a permanent marker, and the date. And write it in the book. Then change it regularly, as recommended.

      +Rounak Gandhi I think most modern cars do. In some there is access hole below rear seat, then the job isn't too bad. In others you'd need to drop a tank :/

    • @nicholascroft520
      @nicholascroft520 8 років тому

      +Rounak Gandhi I've done a few it's not fun. Most times you can get to it under the rear seat but you'll need a special tool to get the securing ring securing the sender unit to the tank. Then you have to partly dismantle the sender unit to replace the filter and put it all back together.

    • @realgomez27
      @realgomez27 8 років тому

      depending on the type of Toyota/lexus vehicle. the fuel filter can not be changed because it's part of the fuel pump it's self unless you replace the whole fuel pump. the fuel filter is a life time filter and should not need To be replaced unless you are experiencing some problems like if your car won't start that would be the only reason on changing it I own a 2001 lexus is300 and like I said to replace the fuel filter you have to replace it with a new fuel pump so if its not causing any problems don't even worry about changing it

    OPEN the old one and see what it looks like inside !!!!!!!!!!1

    • @briansmobile1
      @briansmobile1 8 років тому +1

      +Pie 4life Cutting one open can be dangerous as the paper part inside usually catches fire in the process of cutting the metal case open. (I've done it- that paper burns for a LONG TIME) They are typically paper folds like an air filter or the inside of a oil filter. Many modern cars have a paper oil filter or cartridge type. This is basically what the guts of a fuel filter look like.

    • @chrisfix
      @chrisfix  8 років тому +1

      +Pie 4life I am cutting them open dont you worry! My van has the original fuel filter with 300k miles on it!!! I will also do my Vette which is well maintained and has 30k miles on it, and the truck which has 130k miles.

      ChrisFix Try to use some cutters on it and just cut the metal

    • @rasvial
      @rasvial 8 років тому

      +ChrisFix yeah I wonder how thick the metal casing is.. it could be pretty thin in older ones but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a regulation about how thin they can be, since in a crash they basically throw a fistful of gas on the impact if they are compromised.

Your videos are the most in depth and you seem to be one of the best, you should do a tutorial video on how to do a proper and thorough tune up. I'd like to see one that covers how to determine error codes n stuff and how to find out what they mean to each specific vehical.

    I just wanted to confirm... I just replaced the fuel filter on my BNR32 GTR 1992 Nissan Skyline, and the HOT RAG trick does work, surprisingly well. I first pulled the fuel pump fuse from under the steering column, then attempted to start the car. Once that was done and the fuel somewhat purged, I disconnected the battery, located the fuel pump, unscrewed the clamp and attempted to pull off the hose but it was on there TIGHT. I read that a hot rag would help get it off, but I didn't believe it. I actually grabbed a hair dryer as I was going to use it as a sudo-heat gun... however, I ran a cloth under some really hot water just to give it a shot, came out, applied the rag to those, held it there really tight all the way around for about 10 seconds, then twisted and pulled and it came off rather easily, with light to medium force and a slight twist it came right off. I'd say be prepared with an additional rag or two to soak up the little bit gas that spills out and don't let go of the hose or it will throw more. Repeat with the bottom hose the same way (hot rag trick) but place some extra rags underneath,, it comes off easier but also leaks quite a bit more. I placed a rag over the open hoses, the fumes are not fun, they give you a headache after a minute or two. I put the new filter in reverse order, checked for leaks, put the fuse back in, then primed the fuel pump 2-3 times and it started right up no problem. Then I did another check for leaks, took it on a test drive (to my surprise there was a noticeable difference in response and even sound). Thanks for the video Chris Fix, excellent production as always.
