wrongturninwv Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 What should I know about changing the fuel filter on my fuel injected 1.8 that would be different from changing the filter on a engine with a carburetor. Is the gas going to spray all over when I remove the lines ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Do it after the car has sat overnight, and most of the pressure should be bled off. You can also put a rag around the fuel hose when removing it to keep the fuel contained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will pull most the gas out the fuel lines so you can change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
