Fuel Filter

[Ian187]

Can someone tell me where I'm likely to find my fuel filter on a 96 Chimaera 400 (Serpentine)?
Is it an easy job to replace?
Has anyone got a pic or a "how to" for changing it?

It's up above the fuel pump, generally in the nearside rear wheel arch area (inboard, clipped to one of the chassis rails above or adjacent to the diff) - easy enough to do provided the fasteners are not corroded up, but might be best from underneath with the car in the air if you can. A gently applied g clamp or similar can be used to prevent fuel loss whilst you change it (don't pinch the hose) - use new fuel line specific hose clips (not jubilee clips)

Fiddly job this one!
I'd recommend buying some stainless steel fuel hose clamps to put up there when you do it to aid future changes.

Here's a pic.




Hope this helps.

Wow, thanks Ged, you really didn't have to take all the body off your car just to show me where the filter was, but thanks! I owe you one!
