Fuel Filter How-To

I checked the install page for the fuel filter how-to, but the pictures don't come up. Does anybody have a link to another write-up with pix? Thanks.

for people that have changed the fuel filter, have you seen a noticeable change in gas mileage?

I changed mine at 75k, wasnt that big of a difference. Just peace of mind that you did change it. its about 30 mins labor. Make sure to buy the O-ring, its like 1 time use only. so put it back right

I didnt change mine but a friend of mine changed his. I asked the same question and he said that he didnt notice better milage. Stayed the same, its just one of those thing you gotta do.

thats about it, paper towels, some nitrile gloves so you dont get fuel on you. 10mm/phillips tools. Plastic bags to put the used fuel parts in.
