DIY Fuel Filter swap

My 2001 Z06 just turn 50,000 miles and it was time to swap out the fuel filter.

You'll need these, Go buy 6pc A/C & Fuel line disconnect tool set at any auto part store. kit# T70098 Also have a bowl or something to put the 1/2 cup of gas that comes out when you pull the line out. I got the fuel filter from my brother who owns a shop and cost me $32.00.

Location of the Fuel filter is on the driver side in front of the rear wheel.

Jack up the car.
1: Remove bolt, forgot what size.
2: I use a small flat head screw driver and push the taps in.Pull the line out. alittle gas will come out,
3:This is the hardess part,you be using the 3/8 quick disconnect to release the fuel line. Insert it in and push and you will feel a soft snap. You are going to be pulling the fuel filter very hard and holding on the fuel line.(gas will spill out)

4:Now you got the fuel filter remove. Remove the plastic taps on the old filter and put them on the new Filter,Put everything back.

Now don't start you car right away, Turn you key a few times to fill up the fuel fitler before you turn your car on.

p.s I was doing this on my back, if you have a lift, it would be so much easier...good luck.

oh...on another note, My fuel gauge is not acting up like it use too. you know when you have half a tank of gas and the needle say's your empty and slowly climbs up.
