Runs Rough or Dies: Auto / Car, Truck Jeep Engine Keeps Dying Repair (14-20)
Step 4-14. Removing the Car or Auto fuel filter on a General Motors car.
First remove the air cleaner assembly. The fuel filter is located inside the carburetor behind a large fuel inlet nut. Place a rag below the nut to catch any spilled gas. Hold the larger inlet nut with one wrench. Turn the smaller nut on the fuel line counterclockwise with another wrench to disconnect the fuel line. Remove the larger nut and gasket. A spring behind the filter will push the filter out.
Step 4-15. Installing the new Car or Auto fuel filter on a GM car.
Install the new filter and new gasket and thread the larger nut on by hand, then tighten it with the wrench. Now reconnect the fuel line by hand. Hold the larger nut with one wrench and tighten the smaller nut with the other wrench. Remove the rag and start the engine to check for leaks. If the fitting leaks, turn off the engine and tighten the connections. (more…)
