Changing Fuel Filter

[johnbear]

How do you change the fuel filter. I thought it would be pretty as on a Chimeara. It appears I need to remove a bolt securing the bracket from behind the fuel tank!

Does anyone know the procedure?

The bracket is an 'Omega' sort of shape, with a clmaping bolt across the end. You can loosen off the bolt, and the filter should be able to be slid out. The Bolt you are referring to isn't behind the fuel tank. It looks like it should be, but actually it's behind the rear passenger seat. Access to it is through the cubby hole thing in the rear seats. (I found that out after spending an hour loosening the fuel tank to get to it, and it wasn't there )

i did mine about a month ago, it can be done by removeing the fuel lines and undoing the clamp from inside the wheel arch.

push the filter up and towards the front of the car, its a tight fit but it will slide clear.

fitt the new filter in the reverse way.

There are two places the filter sits in isn't there? I thought on early cars the filter was more behind the rear seat, where as on later cars the filter is more up into the arch and towards the tank?
