If so where are they located?? Thanks in advance.How do I replace an inline fuel filter?(Your truck should have Throttle Body Injection, right? Has an old fashioned air cleaner like they used with carburetors, and when you take it off, the 2 injectors are visible right there)



Disconnect the negative battery cable.



Loosen fuel filler cap to relieve fuel tank pressure.



The internal constant bleed feature of the Model 220 TBI unit relieves fuel pump system pressure when the engine is turned OFF.



Allow the engine to set for 5-10 minutes; this will allow the orifice (in the fuel system) to bleed off the pressure.



(Yours should have hex-head fittings on each end of the filter, and each line connecting to it. If it has quick connect fittings, a special tool is needed. With hex-head type, most are 20mm on filter. It's important to use a wrench on the fuel line and the filter at the same time. Use a crescent wrench at least, if you don't have 20mm open-end or flare nut wrench.)



Using a backup wrench (on threaded fittings) to prevent over-torquing the lines or fittings, loosen and disconnect the fuel lines from the filter. Be sure to position a rag in order to catch any remaining fuel which may escape when the fittings are loosened.



Remove the fuel filter from the retainer or mounting bolt. For most filters which are retained by band clamps, loosen the fastener(s) and remove the filter. For some filters it may be necessary to completely remove the clamp and filter assembly.



To install:



Position the filter and retaining bracket with the directional arrow facing away from the fuel tank, towards to carburetor or throttle body.



The filter has an arrow (fuel flow direction) on the side of the case, be sure to install it correctly in the system, the with arrow facing away from the fuel tank.



Install and tighten the filter/bracket retainer(s), as applicable.



Connect the fuel lines to the filter and tighten using a backup wrench to prevent damage.



Connect the negative battery cable and tighten the fuel filler cap, then start the engine and check for leaks.How do I replace an inline fuel filter?No need to relieve the pressure, Once you break the fuel line loose from the filter, the remaining pressure will (3-5psi) will diminish fast.

Your fuel line will run under the truck attached to the frame under the driver seat area...Once u find it it will have either a clip or nut attaching the filter to the gas line it will also have a clap around the filter holding it in place (safety clamp).. unclipp or unscrew the ends of the filter disconnecting to the gas line (watch for excess gas come out of filter) also undo the safety clamp keep the clamp as u will reuse it on the new filter...ok now the old one is off u can disregard it and put the new one in place reattach the fuel lines and safety harness.. remember when u go to crank the engine will take a sec to get fuel there the new filter.. I suggest turning the key forward 2 or 3 times to push fuel threw the line then try to crank it.. Whole process should take no more than 10 - 15 min. good luck hope i was use fullHow do I replace an inline fuel filter?remove the fuel pump fuse and try starting the car. it should start with the gas it has in it and wait for it to die. if the car doesnt start without the fuel pump fuse then your filter is probably so clogged it didnt have enough past the filter. then just disconnect the fuel filter beware of the leftover gas in the line. even if you are able to relieve the pressure there will still be gasoline in the line so use an empty container if possible. then just pop the new one on and it should be good.
