Warning! Remember that gasoline is a highly flammable liquid - follow all applicable fire safety precautions when working on fuel system components. Do not smoke or approach the work area with an open flame or an uncovered carrier. Do not service the system in a room equipped with natural gas-fired, pilot flame-equipped heaters (such as water heaters and clothes dryers). Do not forget that gasoline is one of the carcinogenic substances that contribute to the development of cancer - try to avoid getting it on open areas of the body, use protective rubber gloves, wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap in case of accidental unforeseen contact with fuel. Clean up spilled fuel immediately and do not store fuel-soaked rags near open flames. Remember that the fuel injection system of models equipped with fuel injection is constantly under pressure. Relieve any residual pressure in the system before disconnecting fuel lines (see chapter Power and exhaust systems). Wear safety goggles when servicing power system components. Keep a class B fire extinguisher handy at all times!
1. Proceed with the procedure only after complete cooling (at least three hours after stopping the engine).
2. The fuel filter is located in the engine compartment on its rear bulkhead.
3. Relieve pressure in the supply system (see chapter Power and exhaust systems).
4a. Place paper towels under the filter to catch spilled fuel. Give a hollow bolt of union connection.
4b. Unscrew the threaded fitting.
4s. Loosen the pinch bolt and remove the filter from the engine compartment (see accompanying illustrations).
Note. If possible, use a special box wrench with a split head when disconnecting the fuel line.
5. Installation is carried out in the reverse order. Remember to change the sealing washers on both sides of the hollow stud bolt, which should then be tightened to the required torque. Track the reliability of tightening the threaded fitting. Start the engine and carefully inspect the filter for signs of leakage.
