23638, 1995 2GNT Fuel Filter Replacement Instructions

Here is my little write up on how to replace your fuel filter if you have a 1995 2GNT. It's a real bitch replacing these things cuz you gotta take out a buncha crap and your knees start to give out due to loss of blood flow :P As opposed to the 96+ filters that are convieniently mounted on the fuel tank. Your suppose to change these every 2 years according to my auto teacher. You should get better throttle response when you replace it. I noticed my car didn't want to stall as fast when I let off the clutch. The filter costs about 20 bux and you can get them at any autoparts store just ask.

I didnt find anything convenient when I did mine. As a matter of fact if I dont ever replace my fuel filter again it wouldnt bother me too much :)

Do this at least every 15,000, and they are only like 10 bucks.It is a real bitch but no hard.

15,000 eh, I heard 60,000 where'd you get 15,000. Thats pretty early but you could be right. Yeah the two I've replace were 20 bux a Protec one and a Wix one.

Cool go for it Corbin. Haha I don't know how many write-ups of yours I've used already :)

Haha I'll tell you this the first time I changed it NO1 helped me out and told me what exactly to do. I took the intake, washer reservoir, and brake reservoir out. Didn't know you had to take the battery out and man it was a bitch to change. I dreaded doing it again but after I did it again properly and was informed on what to do it was a pretty easy experience. So that's kinda why I wrote it up, the damn Chilton's doesn't say jack of how to do it :P

I'm not knocking your info man i'm just giving my experience I've got only 60k on my car and i've done it twice within 30k what could it hurt to do it more often, and at my autozone it was around ten here in NY. Your info was great corbin, thanks, you da man.

I'm curious, where exactly is the fuel filter on a 98? I have never changed mine and I'm sure it needs to be changed.

Its basically under the car, on the passenger side, just in front of the wheel well. If you cant find it just start tracing fuel lines. It looks exactly like the pic posted in the instructions above.

And inside the package my filter came in it said to replace the filter every 10,000 miles. Fook dat IMO lol.

hahah I hear ya replacing this thing is pretty annoying. Looks like we have conflicting ideas 10k, 30k, 60k, etc... Is there any maintenance chart that has the fuel filter listed on it?

Revision to my post above... the fuel filter is located under the car in front of the REAR wheel well. And the most common interval Ive heard for changing it is 30,000 which sounds a lot more reasonable.

ummm, my fuel filter on my 98 is right by the gas tank under the car... REALLY easy to get to and change... is this odd?
