You are the only one to talk about the o rings. Thank you its very important! When it starts sucking air it will make you think your fuel pump is going out.
Thanks a lot for your video! I also didn’t let off the pressure but it took some patience to get the tool in there the right way and get the line to pop off. Persistence is definitely key there. Thanks again! 💯🙏🏽
Thanks, this is a job I've never had to do before so I definitely appreciate your great video. This one helped me replace my cousins fuel filter. Now I'm about to replace the fuel pump. 👍
@@2carpros hope I never ever have to do that job again 😅 I think since I don't have a car lift and since my help didn't show up I'm definitely turned away from removing fuel tanks forever. But I got the job done so once is enough for me.
no kidding! My 05 yukon XL that has spent its life in SE SD, & eastern NE is gnarly & not in a good way! I have to soak everything for hours or days including the quick connects (not quick disconnect). Replacing the fuel pump & the lines going nto the nylon fittings were so rusty & swollen even after soaking for days I ended up having to cut & splice new nylon fittings going to the fuel pump. An easy few hours job has taken way too long.
The engineers hate mechanics design the placement and design of this filter. I've replaced fuel filter on other vehicles before, no problem. THIS one I'm having a lot of issues with.
Would pulling the relay for the fuel pump help with getting rid of the fuel line pressure or will it still be there since it has no where to go until the filter is removed. Someone told me I should stall the engine out first but seems pointless.. Thanks!
Pulling the relay will do nothing to the fuel pressure while the engine isn't running. I wouldn't stall the engine, I like a little pressure in the line, helps get it off easier. Just remove the gas cap afterwards to cut down on flow and put a vacuum cap over the line. It honestly doesn't matter. You are getting gas everywhere, its a fuel filter. Be careful and wear protection. Thanks for watching!
I typed in the search How to change a fuel filter on a 2012 Chevy Suburban. I got your video but you said 2000. Will these steps be similar for my 2012?
I have a Suburban 2006 base 5.3 flx. I go to the AcDelco web page and no fuel filter is on there for it. NAPA has a filter but out of stock. Advanced auto dosent even have any listed. why is that. PF-1000 K&N Fuel Filter is the best i can find but now I wonder if it is the riight one
I have a 2004 silverado 1500. I CANNOT find the fuel filter. It is not located anywhere. I've been searching for 30 min, thinking I'm blind. I have read that chevy in 2004 decided to put in a lifetime filter located inside the fuel tank. Can anyone verify this? Anyone else have this issue? Any response would be amazing thank you.
@Thaddeus Coston yes, if it's not there underneath driver side seat where many videos show, then it is indeed in the fuel tank. Not sure why some trucks have the in-line filter and some do not. But for my truck, it's in the tank which SUCKS.
I ran out of gas about 2 weeks ago I grab the gas can that had a little bit of water in it and my truck hasn't been running for the past month and now it's seized so I'm going to try to put a new fuel filter in it
You might want to drain the tank and try gas without so much water in it. Also check fuel pressure to rule out the pump going bad. Thanks for watching!
So I’ve been trying to find the fuel filter part for my car and can’t find it anywhere. I’ve looked on eBay, Amazon, the link in the description here, O’Reillys, Advanced Auto, Autozone, and Napa! Can someone please help me. My car feels like it’s struggling up hill a little. I’ve seen where some have cleaned it out and just put it back on but I was really hoping to just replaced it. I’m beyond annoyed at this point!
must be nice to work on vehicles that arent covered in rust. Try doing that where i live and you'll be there all day and you'll be replacing fuel lines.
So there is no way the fuel pump can accidently turn on. I leave the key in the ignition when it's on the lift so it can be in N when I let it back down. Thanks for watching!
Yup. Changed plugs, wires, coil, injector and updated valve cover to prevent the oil fouling issue. Still pitching a P0307 code and you can hear misfire.
You are the only one to talk about the o rings. Thank you its very important! When it starts sucking air it will make you think your fuel pump is going out.

This is really late, but can you elaborate on this please?
Thanks. I couldn't have done this CORRECTLY without this video thanks for posting.

Low key forgot how to take it off thanks for the vid
No problem 👍
Always replace o rings the customer deserves it.
I think there is an engineer at GM that takes great pride in mixing and NOT matching the fuel filters for these Chevys!
Thanks for the video! How'd you get truck with virtually no rust? that frame is clean and not rusty for the age

This is a very good video ,concise and to the point. Very helpful. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
does your fuel tank need to be empty or close to empty? I'm changing the fuel filter as a part of my complete tuneup.
Not to do a fuel filter. It won't matter. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the great Video.
You bet!
@@2carpros I just got my first Chevy and I love it so I want to change that filter too .

Happens! Thanks for watching!
Thank you this is a big help.
You're welcome!
Would an old fuel filter cause throttle delay? Also can I change this myself without a jack or anything?
Always use jack stand...safety first
An yes it can cause hesitation ...if the filter is clogged...replace it
I’m already doing the pump I’ll do this too
Good call! I'm uploading a "how to" on the fuel pump very soon. Thanks for watching!
thank, you for you're helpful video
what is the part number for the o ring never herd of that I should replace them on my truck next time i change the gas filter i have never done that
You have a just buy the pack, it comes with all sizes, auto has it

I typed in the search How to change a fuel filter on a 2012 Chevy Suburban. I got your video but you said 2000. Will these steps be similar for my 2012?
Yes it will be very similar. Thanks for watching!
Pretty sure 2012 doesn’t have inline fuel filter. It will be on your fuel pump inside the tank.
Is the Flex Fuel filter (Vin Z) different than regular gas 5.3 engine? Mine lines are rusty AF, wish me luck.
You can check by typing your vin into RockAuto.com thanks for watching!
Hi, what of 2013 chevrolet traverse?
Do you know if a 2005 Chevy avalanche 5.3 have a fuel filter. I could not find one on my truck. Where can I find it
Yes it does. Check inside the frame rail under where the driver's seat is. Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros thanks for the response

As the Cadillac Escalade ESV is litlle more than a rebadged Suburban i should think there'd be a fuel filter in it SOMEWHERE...anybody know?

Did you figure it out

Couldn't you pull the fuse for the fuel pump and start the truck to empty the lines before taking it apart?
If you want it to throw codes sure. I like the fuel in the line, helps pop the line off easier. Thanks for watching!
👍

Buy the right tools
Is just a sample all cars ar diferent I guess old or new
What size is that o ring?
Could you use teflon on the thread when installing the filter?
No. Don't do that. Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros OKAY THANKS!
@@2carpros out of curiosity why no Teflon?
@@ecgodsmack86 the oring is the seal, not the threads
Thanks....
You would show every single step except for the one that's hard to do
What side is it on?
Drivers. Follow the fuel line. Thanks for watching!
question what if most lines and underneath of the truck is rusted and trying to remove it
Hose it down with WD-40 and let it soak. Then try it again. Thanks for watching!
I can’t find my gas filter???
Why do you disconnect the battery for
So there is no way the fuel pump can accidently turn on. I leave the key in the ignition when it's on the lift so it can be in N when I let it back down. Thanks for watching!
Is this the same on an Avalanche?
Sure is. Thanks for watching!
Could a bad fuel filter cause a cylinder misfire. Especially in 7 or 8????
It could but it is much more common to be a bad plug or coil or injector. Thanks for watching!
Yup. Changed plugs, wires, coil, injector and updated valve cover to prevent the oil fouling issue. Still pitching a P0307 code and you can hear misfire.
@@firefly0203 could be a bad lifter causing the misfire
What size wrench?

This procedure works ONLY if your fuel filter and fuel line are not rusted which it most likely is. Replacing a fuel filter is NOT this easy.
The lines are aluminum though. How could it rust?
We'll it sure isnt rocket science!
@@2carpros the nuts aren't! Rust is by far the biggest problem when doing this job. Please update with relevant, real-world video.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏👌👌👌👌👌✌👋
Thanks for watching Salvador!
Be nice if anyone actually put the location of the filter
Try listening at the 21 second mark…
lmao
thats not how to release the pressure
