Mazda Miata Fan - Episode 7 - Fuel Filter Replacement

n this episode, I demonstrate how to remove and replace the fuel filter on a Mazda Miata. It's geared toward the NA and NB models.

I also cover depressurizing the fuel system for safety and priming the pressure on the fuel system for restarting the car with a minimum of wear on the starter.

Post-Production Notes:

* Near the end, I left the socket on the retainer bolt for the fuel filter clamp. Don't worry, I remembered to take it off before I put the plastic cover back over the fuel filter. :)

perfect video

Do like ETCG does and get some spare rubber hose to put on the pliers and then clamp the fuel line safely. Great video. Will definitely help a lot of Miata owners out there. The process is very similar for 626, MX6, and Probe owners except ours is in the engine bay making it a lot easier to work with.

[bdsoccerman10]

Hy man your videos r awesome I will do that stuff when I get my miata at the end of the summer. It will be my first car and I was wondering if you could give me a few tips about the car. I also can't do all those things at once to my car but if I was to pick 1 of those things to do to it what would it be?

This tutorial was a HUGE help, thanks so much. Might be worth mentioning that I just pinched off the fuel hose and did not unplug the fuel pump or have to re-prime upon completion. Also worth noting to not use a cheap pen to block off the fuel line at first. Mine BROKE OFF inside of the line forcing me to replace the small section of hose. Anyways, thanks again and keep them coming...
