	According to the Chilton repair manual, it seems that the fuel filter for my 2003 CR-V is inside the fuel tank. It looks like it's inside the fuel pump/fuel gauge sending unit. Has anyone changed his fuel filter? How hard is it to do? Thanks!

For the two in the tank, see: http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/jsp/mws/prddisplay.jsp?inputstate=5&catcgry1=CR-V&catcgry2=2003&catcgry3=5DR+LX+4WD&catcgry4=KA5MT&catcgry5=FUEL+TANK%281%29 For the one outside it, which is more likely the one that is supposed to be regularly changed, see part #9 at: http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/jsp/mws/prddisplay.jsp?inputstate=5&catcgry1=CR-V&catcgry2=2003&catcgry3=5DR+LX+4WD&catcgry4=KA5MT&catcgry5=FUEL+PIPE%281%29 (Backtrack from these sites to put in your exact model of CR-V.)

It can be replaced, but they have such a large dirt capacity that they very rarely need replacement before 500,000 miles, if ever. You'd have to run many tanks of filthy gas through before you could clog it. And it's on there with metal fittings where the threads get distorted from the torque of installation - you run the real risk of stripping the steel fuel line flare nuts getting it apart without the proper wrenches, and that repair costs much more than a simple filter change. --<< Bruce >>--

No. I wish it did. 22R trucks with carbs have the fuel filter clipped to the frame right next to the fuel tank. It is pretty easy to change out, and they only cost about $6. Just wear gloves and goggles as it can dribble gas on you in the process. 22R fuel injected have the fuel filter bolted to the side of the block under the intake manifold, above the starter motor, and they cost about $15. It is a bit of a braille affair, done more by feel than sight. The fuel lines are bolted to the ends of the fuel filter using "banjo bolts". These are torqued on quite tight and can be a bear to remove. Fuel injected systems run with a 20psi fuel line so when you release one of the bolts, gas will spray out the end for a little while. I just wrap the bolt and wrench with a rag to catch it. There is one 12mm bolt above and one below the filter connecting it to the side of the block. When you replace the FI filter you should get new copper washers along with the filter. -- Welding Instructor - South Seattle Comm. Coll. - Divers Institute of Technology CWI/CWE WABO Examiner

	In my Haynes Manual for my 96 Miata, it says before removing Fuel Filter to change it, the fuel pressure must be relieved first. Is this necessary? To do this it says to start the engine; then unplug the fuel pump relay connector; wait for the engine to stall; this relieves the pressure. Are these the correct steps? Brian

There's pressure remaining in the system, if you open up a fuel line w/o releasing the pressure you'll have fuel spraying all over. If you don't releave the pressure you probably shouldn't be smoking....

Are> these the correct steps?> Brian These are the correct steps, but you can also clamp off the fuel lines, pull and replace the filter, and then unclamp the lines. This will keep the system pressurized. You do have to be careful not to damage the rubber fuel hose or the metal fuel lines. This will also result in less fuel being spilled since it will only leak out what is in the old filter. If you do depressurize it first, inserting a bic pen cap in the end of each open rubber line will keep spilling to a minimum, but you are going to smell like gasoline at the end of it either way. Good luck, other than the need to get underneath the car, it is an easy job. Pat

	Well, I know this is not a Chevy newsgroup, but the procedure in my Chilton manual for my Chevy S10 is vague. It says to relieve the pressure before working on the fuel system. It says to first loosen the fuel filler cap. Then, if it is a TBI system (whatever that is) it has an internal bleed feature. If it is a MFI system, it says to loosen the fuel line outlet fitting on the fuel filter. Simply let it drain. Is that all there is to it on a car like that?

	The fuel pump is in the gas tank. Loosen the gas cap and that drepressuizes the whole thing. The pressure will be relieved through the fuel pump into the gas tank. Filter is up agains the firewall.

	The GM prodecure to relieve the pressure for the throtle body and mfi S10 engines is to remove the gas cap and wait five minutes (as explained in the manual) The fuel line pressure is relived through a pressure relief orifice that allows the fuel back into the gas tank once the pressure in the gas tank is relieved by opening the system to the atmosphere. The exeption is the 2.5 liter 4 cylinder engine (few s10 were equiped with it). In that system, you pull the fuel pump fuse and start the engine. Once it stalls, the remaining pressure is releived into the intake manifold through the injector. On Sat, 15 Jul 2006 13:39:47 -0700, XS11E <xs11eNO@SPAMyahoo.com> wrote: M.

	Where is the fuel filter in a 1.8/8V Golf? I bought it and it looks like a cannister with nipples on each end... does it go under the seat? Or under the car? Thanks!

	I installed a new main fuel filter in the same direction as the previous one, although it seems to contradict my Bentley. The Bentley wants the fuel going towards the tank. I've got mine going towards the front of the car. the car ran fine for a few days but I got starvation symptoms again, and no answer here, so I guess I'll turn it around (it's only been a few days) and see what happens...

Should be an indicator arrow on the fuel filter for intended fuel flow direction. Use that for a reference. Dave

Turning it around will flush any contamination that it had trapped into the fuel injection system.

Gas tank-fuel line etc.-fuel filter-fuel line-engine. The pointy end of the arrow on the fuel filter should point toward the fuel line feeding the engine. The stubby end of that arrow, is feed side for the fuel filter and you know where the gas is coming from, I hope. Dave
