new fuel filter is nice!

Finally gave up on getting my old fuel filter off, the forward flare nut would not budge even after weeks of flooding it with PB Blaster.

So I took it in to a shop and they ended up cutting it out and splicing in new fuel line.

You wouldn't believe how much smoother the acceleration is now!

Haven't had a chance to see if it affected fuel economy.

fuel filters aren't hard to change. it's just a pain to get to on the 22RE's.

Hey Cabbage, take off the panel in the passenger fender well and you can get to it without too much difficulty. I changed mine this way without having to remove anything else.
