where is the fuel filter on a 2.8. Im too lazy to look for the freakin thing.

 

Under the drivers side of the car, inbetween the back of the driver seat and the rear tire well. It will more likley be dirty as hell, and if it was like mine it should weigh about 3 pounds mine really needed to be replaced.

 

aight thanx man

 

I worked on a friend's 88 Mustang, 2.3l I-4 auto, once. Thing was running like garbage, and it looked like a tuneup was never done. Think your fuel filter's bad? The 'stang's was completely rusty, and was collapsing. It's in a bad spot, too. It's up behind the rear bumper. I put safety goggles on, and didn't want to reach underneath at all- last thing I wanted to do was get blinded or chemically burned by a frickin' ford.

it is a real bitch to change. and I would spend a few days soaking it down with some PB blast. Most likley you will twist one of the lines off, if it has not been change in years.

I got a foot long piece of steal braided line and use the filter with the nipple ends. When you buy a new one they will have both on the shelf, both the same size, one with fittings, one with nipples.

1 nipple filter
short pieces of steal braided line
8 small hose clamps. 4 on each side, doubbled clamped.

Makes a hard job easy and replacing the filter a snap.
