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.

 

I have a new fuel filter sitting around too, does anyone know if its hard to change on a 22re?

Thanks!

 

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

 

Yea, the filter is under the intake manifold, might have to take that out .... still havent changed it... will someday... Thanks for reminding me the new one is still sitting there!

 

Nice looking truck you got there Cabbage.

 

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.

 

Thanks for the tip!

 

Hey thanks for the tip! Makes me wanna change it this weekend! Yup! I love my runner, 222k and still running! Two guys have offered to buy it, no way!! I need to put on some mud flaps though... its the only thing my girlfriend doesnt like about my runner, she gets her pants dirty everytime she gets in and out because its so mudded
