Here's a step-by-step guide to locate and access the fuel filter on a Mitsubishi Eclipse GT:
1. Make sure the car is parked on a level surface and that the parking brake is engaged.
2. Open the hood of the car.
3. Locate the air intake duct on the passenger side. It's a large black tube that runs from the front of the car to the throttle body.
4. Remove the air intake duct by loosening the hose clamp that connects it to the throttle body and pulling it out of the way.
5. Once the air intake duct is removed, you'll see the fuel filter housing. It's a black cylindrical object with two fuel lines connected to it.
6. To remove the fuel filter, you'll need to disconnect the two fuel lines. Be careful when doing this, as fuel may leak out. You may want to place a rag or pan underneath the fuel lines to catch any spilled fuel.
7. Once the fuel lines are disconnected, you can remove the fuel filter by unscrewing it from the housing.
8. Take the new fuel filter and screw it into the housing, making sure that it's tight.
9. Reconnect the fuel lines to the fuel filter.
10. Reinstall the air intake duct.
11. Close the hood of the car.
Here are some additional tips for locating and accessing the fuel filter on a Mitsubishi Eclipse GT:
- If you have difficulty reaching the fuel filter, you may need to remove the front passenger wheel and tire to gain better access.
- If you find a lot of dirt and debris around the fuel filter, you may want to clean the fuel tank.
