Second Fuel Filter only in 1987?
I post this after searching like crazy for any info about the second fuel filter I believe is only on the 1987 C4...couldn't find anything other than a couple of listing on parts sites.
Any 87 owners replaced this? It's listed as a fuel return filter w/gasket, Delco part #GF62 (replacing GF62N), which is expensive, also available as WIX #33271.
Just curious what it does, exactly, as there is only 1 opening on it, and whether it should be a regular maintenance item. Astounded at the lack of info on the 'Net about this part...
cheers

If I remember correctly, it was an addition installed mostly post production at dealerships to eliminate noise generated from the fuel lines on cold start-ups. My 86 has one....not planning on changing it anytime soon....it's probably been on there for a LONG time.

1987 fuel filter replacement
Car has been sitting 8 months with battery removed. I want to replace fuel filter before putting on road. Do I need to relieve pressure on fuel pump ( install battery, remove FP fuse and run to stall) or has sitting for this length of time allowed pressure to be release so I can just replace fuel filter???
