98 escort i need to find a online guide on how to replace the fuel filter?

i need to find the type i need and a guide of how to change it. its a 98 escort wagon ses 4 cyl98 escort i need to find a online guide on how to replace the fuel filter?i think i can walk you through it - under the hood, pull the air cleaner tube that runs to your intake. you will then be able to see the fuel lines coming up to the fuel rail. follow the line down (this is on the right hand side if you are facing the car) you filter should be there. its held in place by a loop bracket and all you need to do is loosen it. now with a flat screw driver take apart the keeper that is on the top of the filter - this is the hard part - the keeper fits into two holes in the fuel line and wraps around the filter lead in and lead out - it looks like a U and you need to fit the screwdriver in the bottom part of the U and pry it out. dont worry about breaking it cause the new filter should come with 2 new ones. the top one is easy but the bottom is hard to get at. once pulled out the lines can be pulled free - put in the new filter (makeing sure its the right way) and push the lines back on as far as they will go and repplace the 2 keepers.98 escort i need to find a online guide on how to replace the fuel filter?It should be a Ford FG 800 fuel filter, and how to change it is very simple.

Depressurize the system by depressing the schraeder valve on the fuel rail on the top of the intake, on the passenger side of the engine.

Loosen the fuel filter bracket clamp bolt.

Remove the fuel line clips by using a small flat blade screw driver prying the plastic clips out and disconnect the fuel lines.

Remove the fuel filter from the bracket.

Install the new plastic clips into the lines before you reinstall onto the filter. The lines just push onto the filter and snap onto place.98 escort i need to find a online guide on how to replace the fuel filter?Check out the web-page below.



I think that this web site also gives you a diagram as to where it goes. If not ? Try the Ford website for information.

Hope this has helped?
