Default Fuel Filter Change on 91

How hard is to change the fuel filter on a 91 without getting covered in gas? Anyone have any pictures or advice?

Thanx...

Its not too bad. Its tuffer in a convertible cause of the x-brace. Just remember park on flat and to remove the gas cap. Remove the shield and its easier to get if the car is high. Get the flow direction right. My gas bath was minimal last time (for a change). :smash:

You may also want to discharge the fuel pressure first. Start the car and then pull the fuel pump fuse and when the car stalls the pressure is gone. This should keep the bath to a minimum, or at least make it only go down. Other than that it's not too bad of a job. It's on the frame rail by the passanger foot well.

I didnt get much at all either- and all i did was take off the gas cap. The car ran SOOOOO much better afterwards, I could not even blow through the old one.
