Instructions:
1. Prepare the vehicle. Park the vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine. Engage the parking brake and chock the wheels.
2. Locate the fuel filter. The fuel filter is located under the vehicle, near the fuel tank. It is a cylindrical-shaped object with two metal lines connected to it.
3. Disconnect the fuel lines. Use the wrench to loosen the bolts holding the fuel lines to the fuel filter. Be careful not to spill any fuel when you disconnect the lines.
4. Remove the fuel filter. Use the screwdriver to pry the fuel filter out of its bracket. Be careful not to damage the O-rings on the filter.
5. Inspect the O-rings. The O-rings on the fuel filter should be in good condition. If they are damaged or cracked, they will need to be replaced.
6. Install the new fuel filter. Insert the new fuel filter into the bracket. Secure it with the bolts that you removed when you disconnected the fuel lines. Make sure that the new O-rings are properly seated.
7. Reconnect the fuel lines. Attach the fuel lines to the fuel filter and tighten the bolts.
8. Start the engine. Start the engine and check for leaks. If there are any leaks, tighten the bolts until they stop.
9. Test drive the vehicle. Take the vehicle for a test drive to make sure that the fuel filter is working properly.
