2001 Fuel Filter Change
I'm going to help a buddy change fuel filter on his 2001 coupe. From one parts store to another there is a HUGE difference in price. Autozone is $19.99. NAPA and O'reily is about $150. What's up with this difference? Thanks for any info.

I would go with either AC Delco or Wix no matter the price. You can get an AC Delco at Rock Auto for 70 bucks. I think prices vary depending on suppliers inventory. Back when these cars were new, filters were going for $250.

I also would go with a name brand filter. I personally like WIX but not every place carry them.. I have found many AC Delco parts over priced. I definitely would NOT pay $150 for a fuel filter.
Keep in mind that the fuel pressure regulator function is built into the fuel filter for 99 - first half model year 2003 fuel filters.

I bought mine on Amazon; it was an AC-Delco for 29.99. My fuel pressure is 63psi. Before replacing it my pressure was 55 so it was running very lean
When I replaced it I flipped it over and it was almost pure black gas pouring out so it was fair to say it needed replacing.

In 2001, didn't they have the fuel pressure regulator built into the filter?
A/C delco GF822 They are like $75.
The old one is not a good fit.

I'm taking out the transmission right now on my 01 and plan to change the filter while I'm there. The fuel tanks are full. Hopefully it doesn't gush like a fire hose when I take the lines loose.
