Hi guys

I need to replace my fuel filter as its corroded through....

Whats the best way to replace it....simply clamp the fuel sender hose?

Got a Haynes, but just wanted to know if there is way you've done it?

Many thanks

If I remember (been almost a year!), the system is pressurised, so best to do once the engine has not been on for a while. Obviously take all precautions!! Is it the filter thats corroded or the pipes/connectors that connect it up?

If it is the connectors/pipes, have a look at this:

just disconnect it you will get a bit of fuel out but it wont drain the tank it will just be what is in the line

Be careful when taking the pipes off. They tend to rust due to there positions.

They can be replaced but when I swapped mine, I had to wait almost a week for delivery and called a few companies.

Also make sure you get the correct fuel filter. There are 2 types for different VIN numbers. Quoute your reg or VIn whne bying to avoid confussion
