Nissan Fuel Filter POLISH STYLE

Heres a video how I replaced the fuel filter in my nissan.
Overall process was quite reasonable if you are mechanically orientated. I found instructions on the net and it took be a good 1-2 hours to get the job done.
Car: 2004 Nissan X-Trail (2.5L petrol + manual)
In the end job was relative easy and a great way to save $$$, no special tools needed, basically a large flat head screwdriver and a mallet.

That has to be the most outrageously pointlessly, and difficult place to put a fuel filter! I thought i had the heading wrong, and it was the pump you were replacing.... What ever happened to cutting the rubber type fuel line in an appropriate place under the car body, where the pump is then placed between the 2 ends of the fuel pipe, which are slid over the ends of the filter, and clamped down with 2 jubilee clips. Changed loads over the years, and never seen such a farce to just replace a filter. Having said all that, thanks for taking the time to video it, and upload it.

My 2.5 T30 is on 280000km now and I don't think the fuel filter or pump has ever been changed. I would love to change both.

bollocks design!!... no need for car companies to make it so complicated and fidgety just to change a filter.... but thank you very much for the tutorial, VERY insightful 🤩👍

Why do people say fuel filter replacement, when they mean fuel pump?

[@jmy6050]

Well done mate. Only thing I would leave out is turning the engine over without the fuel pump fuse. It may reduce static pressure in the fuel line but also introduces air into the system. I've found that not much fuel ejects from the plastic coupling over the fuel pump cover when you remove it. Yes keep some rags handy.

Thanks Adrian. Mine runs fine but never been changed so figured it was about time but never seen such a complicated fuel filter before! 270K and with a long trip planned I think it might be worth doing.

Awesome saved me a heap of head scratching

Wears gloves to "not get fuel on skin". Block fuel line leak with none gloved hand 😂

Congratulations you just got another sub

Thanks for the great video Andrian. What is the exact spare part changed here - do you have by any chance the code? (as Nissan gave me the complete code of the pump parts).
