Replacing a fuel filter can be a difficult thing if you don't know the process. These few easy steps will ensure that you install the filter properly and safely.

 

The first thing to do is to put on the safety glasses. Next you're going to have to locate where the old fuel filter is. (It may be located under the car near the fuel tank, varies by the car)

 

Once you locate where the fuel filter is, unscrew the screws that hold together the hose and clamp. Don't unscrew all the way, only unscrew until the nut is real loose.

 

Once that's done, hold the hose and remove the clamp. Slowly remove the old filter and set aside. Be sure to put some rags down for the fuel that might leak out.

 

Grab the new filter and secure it in place. Press the clamps back on and screw the screws back in until secure.

 

The last thing to do is to turn the car on and run the engine for awhile. After about 5 minutes look under the car and see if the filter is leaking. If it is, that means you have to tighten it more.
