Fuel Filter

Hi all
I replaced the fuel filter. Taking out the old one was a bit fiddly, had to pop out the plastic tabs on both sides of the hoses with a small screw driver. But, putting in the new ones was a lot easier, the hoses just went in with a little click. It felt a little too easy and am concerned if it in properly. Can you please comment if I have done right or not?

That sounds about as easy as it should be to me.

I find the hardest part is getting the petrol to go anywhere else but on you despite having a container all ready to go.

I followed andyman's instructions in an earlier thread and did remove the fuel pump fuse, ran the engine till it died and then removed the pump and it still sprayed some. Imagine if I didn't do that?!!!!!

Yes, I know the feeling the first time I did it I'm thinking I did get the right fuse didn't I so for those who haven't done it previously you will get a bit of fuel coming out still.

I changed my fuel filter not so long ago. Followed all the procedures, fuse out, keep turning over, etc. But I still copped some in my face and even some in my friggin eye, that sh!t is only funny when it happens to someone else. Had the pan to catch it and everything, that will teach me for next time.....get my brother to do it and then laugh at him.....and run really fast.
