Need to find that squirrely little fuel filter for my '94 SL2. Can
First be sure that the new filter is METAL. I have read horror stories about
the plastic ones leaking after some time.
You need to get the left front wheel up on something so you can slide under the
car and work SAFELY. The filter will be located under the floor where your
left foot would be while driving.
Find the correct fuse for the FUEL PUMP. After the engine is started, remove
the fuse. After a few moments, the engine will stall, turn off the key. Now
the fuel system should have depressurized, but always be aware.
A fuel line release tool (plastic device) should come with your new filter. It
should also contain instructions on how to use it. Once both of your lines are
off, remove the filter mounting bracket bolt.
Install in reverse order. Reinstall your fuse. Cycle your key on and off about
4 or 5 times to prime the fuel system. Check filter area for leaks. If no leaks
found, start engine.
Good luck, James
