It has a saddlebag style tank, and I understand there is a pipe linking them together. That's why I think fsh ain't worth the paper it's written on! Most airfilters on petrol cars now have a massive interval. In my experience fuel filter rarely go bad themselves. The siphon jet comes with two new gas tank cover seals - you do not need to buy them separately. I pulled the old siphon jet out the tank, inspected it, blew it out with compressed air, etc. Today i will be removing the sender unit again to double check things. All seemed right with the world.

Peace of mind in having new components 160k miles at the time though, my particular problem was an internally corroded + wire to the fuel pump, just under the passenger side sending unit cover.

Just a generic warning that the system can hold up to 5bar of pressure careful that will put an eye out. Replace the fuel filter and watch the dirty fuel spill out of the inlet side. Always wondered where the filter was hidden. In actuality, the forward edge of the cover meets the bottom edge of the wheel well. Curious what the rest of the folks have been doing. Use something on the jaws so you don't nick the hoses.

The clogged fuel filter puts too much pressure on the fuel pump and prevents the proper amount of fuel in the fuel tank from reaching the engine. Then you realize that the cover is tucked underneath the rubber jacking point, Doh! I typically can get around 350-400 miles on a full tank of gas before having to refill when the gauge only read empty. I then started running out of gas when the driver side tank was still mostly full. How does one test if the filter is in need of replacement or do you simply wait untill it actually dies on you? When I went through diagnosing an intermittent no-start condition. It might mot be your problem but its a good start. The dealer lists the pressure regulator as a seperate part. Oh what a joy it is to take all these out!

Don't smoke when working on this. Brown sediment can poor out when you take it off. With the old filter drained it still had a significant weight advantage over the new one, indicating that it was pretty full of crap.

I think at 85,000 miles i'd like to change the diesel filter too. Thank you to the responses. You need to remove the left front jack pad and then the plastic panel that is behind the pad. I hope it didn't catch fire! Otherwise, 60k miles seems reasonable to me. Me: I don't believe in lifetime fluids. My car had fsh when I bought it with 150000 miles on the clock and the engine breather filter had never been changed! Its been remapped and goes like a train but im notg sure if im just getting used to it or if i feel its power is down just a tad.

Parts guy: Ok heres the seals, anything else? I too replaced my fuel filter not too long ago, without any immediate need e. The position of the cover in the picture is a little to the rear of it's actual mounting position. If it is driven in dusty, dry conditions the fuel filter may need to be changed more often. From what I remember the clips on the hoses needed a special socket so I cut a groove in with a hacksaw and used a flat blade screwdriver. Careful there is a good quantity of fuel in the filter. So try that first if you don't have a new one in there allready it's cheap and known to cause problems with that.
