Application: Read the warnings in the paragraph 1.
1. The fuel filter is located under the bottom of the car, in front of the fuel tank (pic. 6.1). To gain access to the filter, place wedges under the front wheels, raise the rear of the vehicle and install jack stands.
2. Depressurize the fuel system as described in paragraph 9.
3. If available, pinch the fuel hoses at the filter with suitable clamps or clamps. This is not absolutely necessary, however, even after the pressure is removed, gasoline remains in the system, which will spill when the hoses are disconnected from the filter. The fuel will remain in the filter - spread a rag under it.
4. Loosen the clamps and remove the hoses from the filter. If spring clamps are installed, discard them and install worm-drive clamps. If the hoses are cracked or otherwise damaged, replace them as well.
5. Before removing the filter, pay attention to the fuel direction arrows printed on the filter housing and compare them with the marks on the new filter (gasoline must move towards the engine).
6. Now the filter can be removed from the bracket. If it sits tight, dismantle the bracket from the body and remove the filter on a workbench.
7. Install a new filter, observing the labels. After installing the filter on the bracket, wrap and tighten the mounting bolts.
8. Attach hoses and tighten clamps (if necessary, use new hoses and clamps). Make sure no dirt gets into the system. Remove hose clamps if installed.
9. Start the engine. The engine may not start immediately, as fuel pressure must build up in the system. Give let the engine run for a few minutes, making sure there are no leaks.
Attention: The filter must be disposed of due to its flammability - if it gets into a fire, the filter may explode.
