Part: Fuel filter

Video tutorial

In this video, we will see how to change the fuel filter. The instructions are general, as the YouTuber mentions that in some cases the fuel filter can be found at the top of the tank, while in other vehicles it is necessary to access it from underneath.

In any case, the first thing to do is disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and relieve the fuel pressure by opening the cap. Now we need to access the filter, keeping in mind that there are often sensors to remove before taking off the part, and it may be helpful to mark with a marker where they were positioned.

Loosen the nuts and remove the part.

Be careful as some fuel will definitely spill. Now install the new part, replacing all the sensors and proceeding in reverse order.
