Fuel Bath
Sure do get a bath from that carcinogenic liquid known as gas. That's what they say anyway. Hell...I've been in gas for years...I should already be dead. Do change it with as little gas in the tank possible. Undo the fuel line holders near the passenger side rocker panels. Undo the fuel line holder top of engine. This gives you a little room to move the thing around after you remove the 10mm bolt from the strap holding the filter. Leave the strap on, just take the bolt out, you can slide it on the new filter later. You can get a fuel line wrench on the fuel line closests to the engine, the, use a socket to remove the filter from the hex on the filter closests to the rear of the car. (Watch the friggen O-rings on the fuel line, they gotta go back). Took me about two hours. Don't be afraid to wedge a wrench against the fuel line and body in order to make room for tightening or holding. Releasing the lines as previously described allows this. Oh yeah....remove the fuse for the fuel pump (F1) and crank the engine for about 10 seconds after it stops. Crack the fuel cap. Remove the pop off fuel rail cover and release the schrader valve to relieve remaining pressure. You will still lose some fuel so, have a pan available. Do this in a well vented area. I kept the ceiling fan on high with the garage door open. Betcha I could do it faster the next time!:eyerole
