GM Fuel Filter Replacement
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2024
- In this video I'll show you how to replace one of the most common fuel filters used on General Motors vehicles. This particular fuel filter fits a myriad of GM vehicles. I do not have a list of all the vehicles that this fuel filter fits on, but I believe that this filter was used from 1995-2005. (Give or take a few years). If you are not aware, Chevy, GMC, Pontiac, Buick, Cadillac, Oldsmobile and a few others would be considered General Motors vehicles.
Please use extreme care when replacing your fuel filter. You will be exposed to fuel, which is flammable. Keep a fire extinguisher handy and have a partner supervise you as you do this. (you may need someone to jump in to action to extinguish the fire). Keep all sources of flame and ignition away from vehicle while you do this.
⚠️REPLACEMENT OF RUST DAMAGE FUEL LINES OR DAMAGED LINES IN GENERAL IS HIGHLY ADVISES AS COMPROMISED LINES CAN LEAD TO DUEL LEAKS AND POSSIBLE FIRE! ⚠️
Note: A repair manual is always recommended when using my videos. Please reference your repair manual for torque specifications and proper technique techniques.
⚠️As you know, you will have to lift the vehicle to be able to get to the fuel filter. Use your repair manual and owners manual for information about properly jacking up and supporting your vehicle. Use caution when checking for leaks under the vehicle with the engine running. Be sure the vehicle is in park. Be sure the parking brake is applied. Be sure the wheels are chocked to prevent the vehicle from rolling. 🛑☢️
***Remove exposed fuel from around or under the vehicle before checking for fuel leaks and before starting the engine. Keep fuel at a safe distance from vehicle and be sure fuel is kept in an approved container. (This includes the fuel that was caught in your catch pan when the old filter was removed.****
Also, just to make sure I'm clear, when checking for leaks at the fuel filter after replacement do not start the engine. When you cycle the key on and off a few times you should just cycle the key to the run position, not the crank position. Once you have determined that no leaks are present then you can crank the vehicle and allow it to run while checking for leaks.

Best video on RUclips on how to change fuel filter especially how to release the plastic quick disconnect side. Thanks brother!
I'm almost 70 years young but love to work on my car. I had forgotten how to take the filter off. Works fine.
Easy to follow guide, no frills. Thanks for the video👍🏻
Very good, clear video. Had to do this on my Chevy Express about a year ago. Pretty straightforward process.
Where did you buy your filter? I’m having a hard time find one
@@NguyenReallyDoIt I think I got it from Rock Auto.
Perfectly explained ❤
Only for safety reasons as you said , it's a good idea to disconnect the battery even if you have a fire extinguisher .
I expect another video ❤❤❤❤
Definitely the same on a 1995 Olds 88 Royale, and a 1999 Buick LeSabre, getting ready to go this today...
Excellent video
Thanks
Thank you for taking your time to show us!!
My pleasure!
What”GM vehicles “ does this apply too?
Very helpful.
Hey Keith my name is don.. for starters your video was very very helpful!.. to be honest this is my first time replacing a fuel filter.. I'm not rich and I cannot afford to take my vehicle to a shop where you know I will get ripped off.. long story short I drive a street sweeper but in the winter we are unable to work.. before I attempt to do this I need your opinion on something.. I started my 2003 Trailblazer about a week ago and it turned over on the first crank but I tried to start it 5 days later and it chugged here and there like it was trying to start.. the fuel pump is still priming so I'm guessing and hoping it is still working.. in your opinion do you think it's the filter?
Hey Keith I'm sorry to bother you again this is don.. I have to be to work in a couple of weeks so if you could get back to me ASAP I would definitely appreciate it!... thank you brother
It's possible.
Well, I twisted the rusty line off of mine. Also the other end of the filter was so rusty the plastic connector wouldn't come off wothout mangling it. Looks like I'm about to get salvage price for my car.
Do you have a tutorial on how to replace that line that's rusted we're going to try to take a mind off of my 2013 Yukon XL and it broke😢
I do not. I apologize.
@@BarboursAutoHelp that's ok brotha thank you
Your very helpful
Thanks
I can't find mine there is nothing on the under the frame lol just a canister where it should be. On a metal frame with power going to it
Did you ever figure it out?
I’m facing the same problem
So, there are models that didn't have the fuel filter on the frame. However, I believe the models that don't have the fuel filter in the tank or under the hood inside the engine compartment.
I have aveo 2011 , my new fuel filter doesnt have direction arrow on it , does it matter which side direction we plug it ? And if yes what is the right side for in from the pump and out to the carburetor?
These type of filters have different connections on each end so there is only one way to install it.
So the clip side keeps popping off y and it came with a new one
What vehicle is this you are working on
01 Pontiac Bonneville 3.8.
i have gmc cayon 2016 and it has no filter
Hat if you dont have a tool to het tje fuel line clip off
Easiest way to fix or maintain a GM is to send it to the junkyard.
Sorry, but that Bonneville was a great vehicle. Just too bad it spent so much time up north.
lies!
That could apply to ANY modern vehicle.
Driving a 2005 chevy equinox 240K miles and counting. Just drove a 10hr trip.
I can say the same about a FORD
