Getting ready to change my fuel filter (92 4x4 xtra cab 3.0 V6) but my Haynes manual does not provide the specifics of how to depressurize the fuel system prior to loosening the banjo bolts on the filter. Your advice is much appreciated.

 

1. Remove the gas cap. This will help but won't depressurize fully.

2. Pull the fuel pump relay and run the motor till it dies. This will pretty much empty out the fuel line.

 

I just undid the cap for a few seconds,I only had about 80ml or so fuel leakage.

 

Ahhhh come on. Put it in terms we can understand. How much of a beer can is that? J/K

 

I just did a write up on the 2nd gen fuel filter. Go give er' a read. It was fairly easy with some help from my good friend pb-blaster. I tried to explain everything in detail.

 

My Haynes manual does not illustrate the location of the fuel pump relay. Can someone point me in the right direction?

 

CL...Is your write up in this forum? If so, what's the title? If not, where? Many Thanks!

 

That's almost a quarter of a beer can, for you metrically challenged individuals
