Where is the fuel filter located on an 86 TPI 305 Camaro?

on the drivers side rear frame rail extension.

Under the car in the area under where the rear drivers side passenger would sit. Look in front of the axle/wheel-well on the drivers side.

Follow the fuel/brake lines all the way to the rear and look where Rbob pointed out. It's kind of up in the hump under the car, behind the driver's side rear seat. Check the attached pic.

Also, I bought my stock replacement filter from TPIparts.net a few years back and it worked/fit great.

Hey there...so its perfectly okay to put a drip pan down to catch the fuel and let it drain out...I assume at some point it stops pouring out?

Ya it might take a while though... Lot of fuel coming down from the tank and back from the feed to the motor.

O...maybe I'll just try and do it real quick...is it really bad to starve the engine...it says to do that exact thing on my Ford explorer? Where is the fuse located at your suppose to pop out?

No need to pull the fuse. Once you get the filter changed turn the key on but dont start the car. The pump will run and fill the system back up. Wait 30 seconds or so and then start the car.

Or pull the fuse and run the car until it dies but I don't recommend it. I would rather clean up some spilled gas then run my car out of it.

If the fuel pump power connector is easily accessible, I just unplug that and start/run the engine until it dies.

Otherwise, I plan fuel filter changes so I do it first thing after letting the car sit overnight when the pressure has bled down.

Either way, I still get a small fuel bath into my arm pits.
