* Replacement fuel filter
* Fuel filter wrench or pliers
* Rags
* Safety glasses
Instructions
1. Find the fuel filter. The fuel filter is usually located under the vehicle, near the fuel tank. It is a cylindrical-shaped object with two fuel lines attached to it.
2. Place a rag under the fuel filter. This will catch any fuel that spills when you remove the filter.
3. Disconnect the fuel lines. Use a fuel filter wrench or pliers to loosen the fuel line nuts. Be careful not to spill any fuel.
4. Remove the fuel filter. Once the fuel lines are disconnected, you can remove the fuel filter by unscrewing it from the fuel line adapter. Check the old fuel filter for dirt and debris and replace as needed.
5. Install the new fuel filter. Screw the new fuel filter onto the fuel line adapter. Hand-tighten the filter until it is snug. Do not overtighten the filter, as this could damage it.
6. Reconnect the fuel lines. Reconnect the fuel lines to the fuel filter by tightening the fuel line nuts.
7. Start the engine and check for leaks. Start the engine and look for any leaks. If you see any leaks, tighten the fuel line nuts until the leak stops.
