Fuel filter location?

Featured Replies

Hey does anyone know where the fuel filter is on an 85 GL wagon, 1.8 carb? And also where is the pcv valve??

Thanks...

directly behind the throttle body, connected to a hose that has a pretty tight bend. the PCV valve itself is a little hard to see sometimes.

The main fuel filter is pre pump and is located on a mounting plate, under the wagon in front of the tank, pass side.

Caleb - I dont think thats where the fuel filter is, I think thats the windshield wiper motor in front of the firewall.

Fuel filter is the big round thing right by the driver side strut tower with the hose sticking out of the front. And yes, it is the 'main' filter.

No one else has an 85 GL 4x4 EA82 engine?? Thanks.

Right by the gas tank near the fuel pump as stated above, only FI Subes have the fuel filter in the engine compartment. Should be behind the passenger side rear tire up by the gas tank (or at least that's where it is on my 86' GL Sedan with a Carb).
