How To: Replace a Fuel Filter

A car's fuel filter is an integral part of its fuel system. As the name suggests, the fuel filter "filters" any dirt and debris that may come from the gas tank. An old fuel filter can be the cause of decreased gas mileage, decreased performance, and fuel injectors failing.

Like most of my How-to videos, this is done on my 1993 Nissan 240sx. However, the same principle can be applied to a multitude of cars.

*Try this only if you feel confident! I'm not rich enough to be responsible for any damage you cause to your car.*

What is the purpose of taking the gas cap off?

[ProjectGarageOnline]

@anonymousguitarguy Its just to relieve any pressure from the gas tank

Hey, I took out the fuel relay but the car kept running, what do I do?

[ProjectGarageOnline]

@MasterNeko Take out the main fuel pump fuse, not the relay. You basically need to cut power to the fuse pump.

I recently had to change my fuel filter and I did this WITHOUT taking off fuel pump fuse and running fuel out from lines ... BELIEVE ME IT IS WORTH following this dude's advice - otherwise fuel is going to spil everywhere on you !!! esp. if yoor fuel filter is under your vehicle next to fuel tank!!!

this sucks so bad, i cant find the fuse itself but just the relay.....if there is a relay then there must be a fuse right?
