    Default Petrol Filter

    Does anyone know how to change a fuel filter and fuel regulator on the VN?

    undo the two hose clamps and pull it off. the fuel pressure reg comes off with two 10 mm bolts and have one hose clamp to undo. the other side probably won't have a clamp as it is a vaccumm line.. don't take the reg off unless you have to. they are a shit to get back on..

    First is to remove the fuel pump fuse and start the car until the car stalls to remove excess fuel in the lines. Then just unbolt the fuel clamps and take the filter out.

    Just to reiniterate what SlowVac said, beware the pressure and fuel when you take the filter off, especially if you haven't run the car when removing the fuel pump fuse. On the filter remove the hose that is pointing away from you first.

    Oh and don't smoke whilst doing said job ;-)
