Default Fuel filter?

How much should one cost? Ive noticed my fuel milage has been hurting, so i replaced the spark plugs, spark plug wires, etc, the only thing I neglected was the fuel filter, could this be the cause?

where is the fuel filter??? its on the pass side of the hood, its black and is right on the firewall. it has a tube that goes from it to the fuel rail. you cant miss it. and if you do, cloae the hood and just walk away...

FPR goes in the engine bay, so when you play with the settings from the bay you can quickly glance at the gauge numbers. well thats how it is on my cousins itr.

Default Re: Fuel filter? (Soup ****)

No matter what gas you get there will always be **** on the bottom of your gas tank. You dont want to run your car out of gas or bring it to a low level because then it sucks all that **** up and goes into your fuel filter. You won't/shouldn't notice this problem all that much unless it is REALLY clogged.

Replacing the fuel filter should be done every 30k miles. Pretty easy thing to change out.

You gas is always picked up from the bottom of the tank anyways. You dont't want to run your tank low because that will allow the furl pump to operate with poor lubrication and cooling. It will shorten the life of your fuel pump.
