Fuel Filter

I'm replacing my fuel filter and the flow arrow points to the back of the car, is that correct :confused:

Re: Fuel Filter (Rex Ruby)

Sounds like it'll work that way, however it may not be catching any crap running the opposite direction.

Check one of your other C4's to see what direction they are pointing towards.

Re: Fuel Filter (Rex Ruby)

ugh. I did this one last weekend... what a PITA it was.

be careful... the return line can set up a syphon that will dump fuel out like crazy...

I ended up with a lovely chemical burn from it... ouch... :cuss

Disconnect the line at the tank to prevent the mess.

Re: Fuel Filter (Rex Ruby)

Is this another ZR1 mystery on your hands??

That said, there is nothing on the c4 that is worse to work on than replacing the stupid fuel filter.. !!!!!
