I need some tips!
 

hey!
I can't figure out how to remove my damn fuel filter lol :(

I removed the two rusted screws from the firewall, now the bottle is loose but I can't unplug the 2 hoses, I pull the OUT hose and it doesn't come, and the IN hose ... well... I can't even reach it, (maybe from under the car would be easier ?) I think this thing was never changed... Protege '90 .....


anyway, each and every tips are very welcome
Thanks

why are you messing with the evaporative system catch can? the fuel filter is in the fuel tank!

uhhhh no. The fuel filter is mounted on the firewall. You are probably thinking of the fuel pump.

Try removing the battery so you can have more room to work. The hoses should come off eventually.:)

check this thread out:

well.... I removed the battery and the intake tube allready and still no room to pull the bottom hose ....

but tomorow I'll try to wet the hoses maybe it will help....

it's really a pain, still im not totaly sure that changing the fuel filter will fix my problem ... damn lol

I want a lift so i can remove that damn can from bottom hehehe

Screw the fule filter back to the firewall and pull the hoses off than.. I know it is a pain in the A$$.. Been there.. no room to do anything...

try that..
