FUEL FILTER
Place clamps on the fuel hoses on
each side of the filter to prevent
fuel leakage when the fuel hoses
are disconnected.
Pull the spring retainer toward you,
and raise the fuel filter. Inspect the filter for water and/or
sediment accumulation.
If the filter is OK, reinstall it. If
water and/or sediment are present,
replace the filter as described in
the following steps. Always
replace the filter at the scheduled
replacement interval (p.
).
Install the new fuel filter so the
arrow on the fuel filter points
toward the fuel pump.
Fuel flow will be reduced if the
fuel filter is installed backward.
