Replacement Procedure

Danger:Remove the fuel pump fuse or relay before disconnecting any fuel line. The mechanical pump will continue to pump if the engine cranks — depressurizing prevents fuel spray. Work away from any ignition sources. Have a rag and drain pan ready.
  1. Remove the fuel pump fuse from the fuse box to depressurize the fuel system.
  2. Locate the in-line fuel filter. It sits in the engine bay inline between the fuel tank supply line and the carburetor.
  3. Place a rag under the filter to catch residual fuel. Use hose clamp pliers to slide the clamps back on both hoses, then pull each hose off the filter fittings.
  4. Note the flow direction arrow on the filter body before removing. Install the new filter with the arrow pointing toward the carburetor.
  5. Push both hoses fully onto the new filter fittings and slide the clamps into position over the fittings. Verify both clamps are fully seated.
  6. Reinstall the fuel pump fuse. Crank the engine a few times to build fuel pressure, then start it and inspect the connections for leaks.
Tip:Avoid generic filters for this application — stick to WIX 33310 or NAPA 3310. Dimensional mismatches with generic filters are common and a loose hose fit on a fuel line is a fire hazard.

Rubber Fuel Hose Replacement

The factory service manual specifies that all rubber fuel hoses must be replaced at a maximum of every 4 years, regardless of appearance. Rubber degrades internally from fuel contact before cracking is visible externally. Do not re-use a fuel hose once it has been removed.

Warning:On vehicles approaching or past the 4-year hose interval, inspect the hoses during every fuel filter change. Squeeze each hose — if it feels stiff, crumbly, or has surface cracking, replace it before it fails. A cracked fuel hose spraying onto a hot exhaust manifold is a fire that starts before you can stop it.
