Where is fuel filter on 1994 Rodeo V6?

I have a 1994 Rodeo with a V6 which has hesitation between 60-70 mph. It runs find at lower speeds.



Someone suggested changing the fuel filter but I don't know where it is located.



Where is it and how difficult is it to change? I am not much of a mechanic.

How do i change the fuel filter on a 2002 Mountaineer AWD 4.0L?

I've located the filter on the passenger side frame rail in front of the fuel tank and behind a plastic shroud. Is there some sort of special tool I need to remove the lines and is there a need to disconnect the computer and/or battery?
How do i change the fuel filter on a 2002 Mountaineer AWD 4.0L?
Yes, you need a special tool. They can be bought at your local auto parts store and are specifically for Ford car and truck fuel line connections. The tool slips over the line, and you push it into the end of the connection. the tool stretches the spring inside the line connection and allows you to remove the line. No need to disconnect the battery/

    i know how to change it but hoiw do i turn off the fuel pump so know fuel comes out?
    How to change a fuel filter in a 1998 honda civic ex?
    Here's how Honda service manuals say to relieve the fuel pressure



    1) Disconnect the battery negative cable from the battery

    negative terminal.

    2) Remove the fuel fill cap.

    3)Use a box end wrench on the 12 mm banjo bolt at

    the fuel filter while holding the fuel filter with another

    wrench.

    4) Place a rag or shop towel over the 12 mm banjo bolt.

    5) Slowly loosen the 12 mm banjo bolt one complete

    turn.



    The fuel pressure will push the fuel out of the loosend fitting and onto the rag. You must relieve the pressure before the fuel filter can be removed.



    Another way to do it safely is to pull the main relay out of the connector and crank the engine over for about 15 seconds. The main relay controls the fuel pump and the ignition so the car won't start and the fuel pump wont' run but cranking it over should open the injectors to vent some of the pressure that is in the system. The main relay is located under the right side of the dash between the side of the glove box and the side of the car. You'll probably still have some residual pressure in the line but the fuel pump won't run with the relay out.



    hope that answers your question

    you need a haynes manual trust me its so worth it! it tells you every thing you need to know about your car.
    if you know where the filter is then just take out the old one,hang the hose higher than the fuel tank and the most important,don`t turn the key into switch/acc position,take note that even if the fuel pump is not running there will always be something that will come out of the hose.

    Can someone tell me where the fuel filter is on a v6 1988 camaro?

    Im trying to change the fuel filter but i cannot find it. I would take it to a shop but I dont have any money. Thankyou!!!
    Can someone tell me where the fuel filter is on a v6 1988 camaro?
    its on the drivers side of the car. just infront of the wheel. look under the car and follow the steel line. itll be this big silver cylinder with big hex nuts on it. youll need two wrenches to get it off. one to hold the filter in place and one to turn the metal fitting on the cable. if you dont, you risk twisting the line or breaking something, also i suggest soaking it in a good bit of penetrating oil or wd 40 overnight, because that thing is under your car and has been hit by all sorts of water, dirt, dust and other road crap, and is probably alittle rusted on too. also when u install it make sure u follow the instructions. usually theres an arrow and it either points to the fuel tank or to the engine. i believe i bought a fram and it said to point the arrow towards the engine. if you put it in backwards your gonna have some problems.

    How do I changed my fuel filter...?

    I own a 2004 Hyundai Accent. I need to know in details where the fuel filter is located, the tools I need, and how to change it.
    How do I changed my fuel filter...?
    For that car, it is likely in the fuel tank...they intend them to last the %26quot;life of the car%26quot;, but many times don't. If it is plugged, I would suggest having a pro do the job...
    How do I changed my fuel filter...?
    Fuel filter? Do you mean OIL filter? your fuel filter shouldn't go bad on a 2004 model. Still under warranty?
    Nope. Don't touch it unless you are a mechanic or engineer. You're going to end up killing yourself. I don't care if you're short on money. This is not something you touch if you're not mechanically inclined.
    I cannot verify currently the location of your fuel filter. It will be in 1 of 3 places. If it is in the engine bay It will look like a small can with a line going in top under a bolt and a line coming from the bottom going to the Fuel rail. If it is under the car it will be a small can with a hose hose clamped to each end. and if its in the tank its rather hard to change but I will tell you just to answer your question. I suggest having a mechanic friend or pro handle it if its there. To take it out of the tank, You will most likely need to depressurize the system by removing the efi relay under hood and run the engine until it dies on its own. then try to start it a few times. then disconnect the battery. in the trunk under the carpet and maybe spare tire there will be a small panel held in place by some bolts/screws. undo them and underneath is your fuel tank, there will be a circle with connectors coming out the top. you will have to unbolt it and lift out the fuel pump assembly. In the assembly will be the filter, the pump, and most likely the fuel level sender with float. Sometimes you have to replace it as a unit I am not sure on your car. If you don't you can replace the filter if you do You will have to buy a new unit at a store and swap the fuel lines onto it and electrical connections etc. For tools you will need sockets ( My guess would be metric around a 17 but not sure ) a flathead if you need to take off the hose clamps, and 10s or 12mm socket for the panel and tank cover in trunk. If you have to take off the lines to the fuel pump you will need a fuel line clamp and A lot of luck. I personally wouldn't mess with it unless you HAVE to. Any questions Ill be around. Oh and if they are in the engine or under the car depressurize the system and simply unbolt/unclamp them, and replace the way they came out. Make sure flow is correct way. -mike.





    P.S. After searching it looks like the fuel filter Might be the under the chasis kind. Look something like this :http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sku/Hyundai/Accent/Hastings/Fuel_Filter/2004/HAGF346.html?tlc=Engine+%26+Drivetrain , do depressureize the system and find it.

  • How to change a fuel filter in a 1986 ford bronco 2?

    i have an automotive backround, but mostly in body work, the person i bought the car from kept the body and interior in excellent condition, under the hood is a wiring nightmare i will tackle this summer, but for now the fuel pump went out, just wondering if i have to take off the gas-tank or if there is an access panel from the back of the car?
    How to change a fuel filter in a 1986 ford bronco 2?
    fourwheeler nut is right.... unless you cut a hole there isn't an access panel.... but dropping the tank isn't that hard to do.... undo the hose clamp on the filler neck and the straps around the tank lower until you can access the fuel line and wires to the pump to disconnect then drop the tank down the rest of the way... replace the pump and reinstall... hope this helps
    How to change a fuel filter in a 1986 ford bronco 2?
    filter your wires through the pump and ? the eng has fuel injection ?in the tank . The filter has two clips at perpendictular angle from the hose .slides out with a screwdriver. new filter should come with clips. as for the wires good luck.
    Sorry but its in the tank and no I don't know of a access door unless you cut one.

    Do you have to change the fuel filter on a 2000 corolla?

    Does it need to b chaanged? I heard on the 2002 model and newer it's placed in the fuel tank and it doesn't need to be changed. But what about the older 2000 model? Thanks.
    Do you have to change the fuel filter on a 2000 corolla?
    Since 1998 the Corolla fuel filter has been part of the fuel pump in the gas tank and there is no regular recommended maintenance of it. This is from Haynes manual covering 1993-2002 Corollas and Geo Prizm. In 1997 the fuel filter was near the brake booster.
    Do you have to change the fuel filter on a 2000 corolla?
    %26quot;no rcommnded maintenance..%26quot; means you do not have to change it. Since it is part of the fuel pump and is in the gas tank, you wouldn't really want to bother it except if the fuel pump went bad and needed to be replaced. The new fuel pump, of course, would have a new fuel filter in it.

    Report Abuse


    google it. most of them are inline with the fuel lines and should be changed ever now and then.
    off course it has to be change if you don't change it it will get clogged up and you'll be %26amp;*%#ed

    Where is the fuel filter on a 2006 Kia Rio?
    Its under your car near the gas tank,You would need to follow the fuel line it would be in there.Since you want to do it, i would buy a Chilton's repair manual for your car this will explain the procedure and precaution needed to change it out.As far as hard, its not hard, you just need to know what your doing,since your are messing with flammable gas and all its not good to make sparks.Wouldn't be a first job i would attempt, but the Chilton's should help you.GL

    How to change fuel filter on a 95 Nissan maxima.?

    That filter is very difficult to change (I've changed 3). It is located on the driver's side of the firewall, sort of under the master cylinder.



    Here's what I did; I took off the fuel line where it attaches to the engine - and left the other end of the line attached to the top of the filter (the clamp on the filter is very difficult to get to). Next I took the filter out of it's clamp (it just pops out), and bent it over at a 90 degree angle so that I could get a screwdriver on the bottom clamp. After I loosened that clamp, I used the screwdriver and some long pliers to slowly pry off the hose from the bottom of the filter (try not to damage the hose) - that's the hardest part and takes the longest.



    When you re-install, be sure to put the hose and the clamp on the top of the new filter before you install it. Push the filter into the bottom hose, then bend it over at a 90 degree angle to tighten the clamp. Pop the filter back into it's bracket, and connect the top hose to the engine, then check for leaks - especially at the bottom of the filter where you had to bend the hose at a 90 degree angle. You can reach down under the filter to feel for leaks - you really can't see the bottom after installation.

    on the frame left side
    ok

    find your fuel tank and u wil see fuel lines come out from the tank those are the fuel lines from the fuel pump and keep following it and you will run into the fuel filter
    4.0 sohc are sometimes located in the passenger front wheel well underneath the plastic guard. It will be right when it curves up after the door.

    Do i have to decompress the system to change the fuel filter?

    how bad will it spray if i just loosen the fittings without decompressing the fuel line first?

    I can't find the fuel pump relay and do the: start motor, pull relay, let engine die and fuel line decompress - thing before replacing the filter.
    Do i have to decompress the system to change the fuel filter?
    Disconnect battery terminal first. If there is no pressure discharge valve around fuel injector rail, then use a rag or towel around the fuel filter joint and slacken pipe nut gently (anticlockwise) and release pressure. it will only take 5 to 10 seconds to reduce the fuel pressure. Mind you no smoking or sparks when you are working with fuel.
    Do i have to decompress the system to change the fuel filter?
    the correct way is to push in the schrader valve located on your fuel rail. it looks like an air stem on a tire. remove the cap and depress the pin in the middle. be careful; use a towel to contain the spray and wear glasses to protect your eyes (i learned the hard way once)
    what kind of car? I always smack the pump cut of switch when I has gas trucks

    How do you change fuel filter on a 2002 chrysler voyager?
    Well, I know this much about the newer van filters, and they are huge compared to them old ones. They are in comination with the EVAp canister, and attached to the fuel tank as well. Is kind of cumbersome, and they are not cheap. Think dealer price was about $30 or so.



    Also, please have info of engine and such. Thanks.
    Sorry buddy but this one I believe is inside the fuel tank? So change it when your fuel pump goes out?

    How do you prime a diesel truck after you change the fuel filter?

    I spray starter fuel in the air intake it will start but die out after a few seconds
    How do you prime a diesel truck after you change the fuel filter?
    depends on year,make and model.
    How do you prime a diesel truck after you change the fuel filter?
    Need details if you want help What year make model and engine.Too many way to desribe
    Starter fluid is not recommend ed on a modern diesel. Just turn the key on and the electric fuel pump will prime the engine. On older models like Mercedes there is a manual primer that you must hand pump to build pressure and is a pain to do. Best bet would be to check you owners manual or give us more information.
    Diesel trucks are the biggest pain to start after changing the fuel filter or running out of gas. There might be a primer bulb somewhere in the engine compartment (check owners manual if you have one). Look inline whith the fuel lines to locate it. Even after you have fuel into the lines and your truck runs, it probably won't run very well. This is normal and it will start running good after a few minutes of running.
    down by the filter there should be a primer lever and a air release valve
    First, fill the filter cup and new filter back up with fresh fuel before reinstalling it. That will minimize the amount of air in the fuel system. Then look for a bleed screw that you loosen to let the rest of the air out when you crank the engine. Eventually, fuel should bubble out and you retighten the bleed screw. I also saturate a new engine oil filter with fresh oil and fill it up as much as possible with oil before reinstalling it on the engine. Then the oil will start circulating faster when you crank the engine.
    on the fule filter there is a primer just like on a lawn mower You just push it until the filter is full.
    fill the filter with diesel before you put it back on if it dies agaain take it of and fillit back up and put it back on

    Can you change the FUEL FILTER on a Toyota Corolla?

    I have a 2000 Toyota Corolla and I took it to one of the advance auto chains to buy a fuel filter and they said you MIGHT NOT HAVE TO change it on that type of vehicle since the fuel filter is built in the tank!




    Can you change the FUEL FILTER on a Toyota Corolla?
    I have a 2002 Camry, 125,000 miles on it. Still has original filter on it. Has not been changed. You may not have to change it unless you get some bad gas
    Can you change the FUEL FILTER on a Toyota Corolla?
    I may be wrong but I've never heard of a fuel filter inside the tank, maybe the fuel pump but not the filter. At any rate, if there is a filter that can be replaced chances are there is at least one and maybe two on the fuel line. Get under the vehicle and trace the fuel line from the tank forward to the engine, if you see a metal can looking thing about the same size of a prescription pill bottle or a clear plastic one that you can see gasoline in thats one of them.



    Go to the engine and check to see where the fuel line is screwed in and look to see if there is a smaller container, it may be only about as big around as a AA battery and about half that in length. You may not have the one on the engine but I'd almost bet there is one on the line somewhere.



    Don't smoke or have any open flame or heat sources around while your doing removal or installation. Have a drip pan within reach and a piece of cork or rag to stop up both ends of the line. If you get gas on your bare skin, wash it off with plain old soap and water, if you get it on your clothes, take them off quick or you might get a heck of a blister.
    your answer is yes you can change the fuel filter. whether you want to or not is up to you. are you having a problem with fuel delivery? if so than by all means change it. if not than i would not bother after all it is a difficult process to do. not impossible just difficult.if you don't have any mechanical savy than i would recommend you take it somewhere to have this done.

    The fuel filter is located on the frame rail, under the truck on the drivers side. You will have to get under the vehicle. It is on the inside of the frame rail. It will be in front of the gas tank next to the transfer case.

    Changed moms fuel filter, rust colored liquid came out when i took it off is this a sign of a problem?

    1989 subaru justy gl 3 cylinder the old fuel filter was filled with a rust colored liquid is it just because the darn thing hasn't been replaced in so long or could there be something wrong with the fuel pump or the tank?
    Changed moms fuel filter, rust colored liquid came out when i took it off is this a sign of a problem?
    No, it's most likely sediment and other crud that was accumulated in the fuel filter. The old fuel filter was doing it's job to keep these particulates from harming the fuel injectors (or carburetor) and the engine.
    Changed moms fuel filter, rust colored liquid came out when i took it off is this a sign of a problem?
    more than likely mom does drive a lot and not long distances. a lot of fuel stations have water contamination in their fuel (your fuel) in our normal driving we notice it from poor fuel milage on a tank of fuel or poor performance but if cars set a long time between driving them the water and fuel seperate and the water can set at the bottom and coorode the tank floor. try changing her filter every 3 months and see if it continues. I would start adding a fuel addative to her car for this problem. sta bil is the product.
    nothing is wrong with your pump, fuel filter at this stage should be replaced. you probably have water in the tank causing it to rust. rust in gas is never a good sign, But easy fix. Replace fuel filter. fill tank up go driving empty the tank and fill it up again and drive again till tank empty after 2 tanks of gas it will return to normal then if your extra careful change the filter again.
    rust is common in fuel tanks on vehicles which sit , it is not unheard of to have some water vapor in fuel tank which turn into water in the tank. If the vehicle runs well every couple of tank fulls run some dry gas additive it should cut down on the water damage (rust) in the tank and lines
    Pretty common if it hasn't been replaced in a long time. Rust develops in the fuel tank and your most likely seeing what the filter caught.



    I doubt anythings wrong. Does it run well?
    it was dirty and gas does look rusty kind of most likely its just the age of car and it has some trash in the tank should be ok
    absolutely not a problem. they all look like that when removed.
    Use some HEET the next couple of gas fill ups. That will help with any water that may be in the tank
    could be water in gas tank causing rusting problem. Does vehicle sit around a lot?
    no problem you did the right thing and just in time you saved her a lot of money down the line with repair bills
