ok, i just bought a 91 TPI 305 but dont have a repair manual. I tried searching for replacement of the fuel filter but got a bunch of results about fuel pumps..so basicaally i need to know where the fuel filter is and anythng i should keep in mind when i change it
how do i remove it....im trying to loosen it with all my might and dont think im doing it right

 

need help

 

it's under the car sorta but the left passenger seat

off hand forgot the fram part number
any parts store should have it

i think it was a 17mm and 14mm
you will want a flare wrench too
vent the gas tank or pinch off the main fuel line
remove and replace

i also sprayed some wd-40 before

you may need to use vise grips to loosen it

 

i cant get the damn fittings to budge

 

10mm to get the canister loose from the bracket
and you will need to use a good pair of vise grips on both ends, line end and filter
or really just on the line end
the filter is 17mm i believe
spray it up first
pinch the line
open the gas cap

i hard to struggle with the one on her car
but it came loose.

keeps some rags around
you will spill fuel

 

i gave up btw.....im gonna have to get someone stronger to do it

 

just get under there with some good tools
it should come off

mine needed a lil ole fashion elbow grease so to speak

 

i did it with just 2 i think it was 17 mm wrenches?

changed mine last saturday...quite a bit of fuel came out but i was ready and had a co worker hold a cup the whole time while i losened the nuts

oh ya i used some wd-40 to losen them up first...mine where complete rust and i managed to break em wasnt too hard.

oh ya and one more thing make sure u put the new filter in the right direction!

 

yeah, im too damn weak I even used "liquid wrench" which is meant for tight bolts....i gotta go at it again this weekend

 

im in trouble, i got the nuts to loosen and changed the filter, but somehow i cross-threaded one of the nuts when i put it back on. Gas sprays everywhere and when the car is off, it wont stop leaking no matter what...anyone know what i can do to make it stop leaking untill it can be towed and fixed propery?

thanks

 

nvm, i fixed it...it doesnt seem to leak anymore but theres no way to be 100% sure. I put some fuel system cleaner in it afterwards and it seems SLOWER . I dont know if this is because the cleaner stuff or the new filter....what a hassle
