Some kind of sensor is attached to it and I am not sure how to take it off and remove the fuel filter. The filter itself is bigger than a oil filter.
GMC 3500 with the 6.6 Turbo DieselHow do I change the fuel filter in my 2005 GMC Duramax 6.6 Turbo diesel?Well you can use large pliers (be careful not to damage the sensor) its a water-in fuel sensor, they also make a special wrench to take it out, i just used %26quot;water pump%26quot; pliers, just be careful you dont bust it!!----
EDIT -- i didnt read that you havent removed the filter from the vehicle yet, there is a connection about 4 in away from the base of the filter, follow the wire off the sensor, its kind of a pain in the a** but you have to disconnect it to get it out

How to change a fuel filter on a 1986 monte carlo?
how to replace a fuel filter on a 1986 monte carlo? Any help I am posting this for my husband and he is outside working on the car right now please help!How to change a fuel filter on a 1986 monte carlo?That car should have a 305 V8 with a carburetor, which then would most likely be a Rochester Quadrajet. On the front of the carb, where the fuel line goes in, there is a hollow part that the fuel filter is inside of. At least if it hasn't been replaced with a different one, usually somewhere in the fuel line, between the fuel pump and the carb. The back side of that part will be a hex head, to put a wrench on, usually 1 inch size. That part should be held with a wrench while the fuel line is disconnected from the front, then unscrew that part from the carb. Be careful putting it back on, that the threads don't get crossed, or that it is over-tightened, as they do strip out fairly easy. The paper filter inside goes with the end that has an opening in it towards the fuel line side. Oh, also, there's a spring that goes behind it. That is to say, put that in towards the carb, before the filter.How to change a fuel filter on a 1986 monte carlo?have him look on the frame rail i cant remember which side its on ,but it should be located about half way under the car,good luck.How to change a fuel filter on a 1986 monte carlo?it on the driver side on mine about where drive seat isHow to change a fuel filter on a 1986 monte carlo?have him look to see if it has a mehanical fuel pump. it might be there if it is you will be able to see a caister thing on the under side of fuel pump. if its not there follow the fuel line back from the carb. it will be a in line filter, must likely between the carb and the fuel pump.
How do you change 1988 Nissan Stanza fuel filter?
best way to relieve pressure? or is it even necessary to do so? Can you just get new Fuel Filter and replace old-just like that? Please advise. ThanksHow do you change 1988 Nissan Stanza fuel filter?Yeah, it's about that easy. But relieving the potential pressure is best done by slowly cracking the line loose and holding a rag around the line at the same time to catch any spray. Not much on a Nissan, but better safe than sorry. And, most importantly of all, no smoking!! Take the fuel filler cap off to make sure there is no pressure in the tank that will push more fuel through the lines when they are loose too.
I have a 95 nissan altima that will turnover but not start, fuel filter?
ran it low on gas one night, not low enough for fuel light to come on. that night was below freezing, tried to crank it the next morning and if wouldnt. put 3 gallons of gas in and it started up, was driving on the interstate for about 10 minutes and my rpm's dropped to 0, even with my foot on the floor. tried to crank it back up and it will only turnover, not fire. how likely is it the fuel filter?I have a 95 nissan altima that will turnover but not start, fuel filter?Not likely. It might be the fuel pump.gray hair short hair cut
How do you change the fuel filter on 2000 Pontiac Bonneville ssei?
I need to change the fuel filter and I would like to do it myself. Is it possible or is it simple? What tools do I need? How do I change it? Thank you all for answers in advance.How do you change the fuel filter on 2000 Pontiac Bonneville ssei?On that model it is under your driver side rear wheel. It's pretty easy to change if your not in a cold climate. Make sure you use wd-40 and soak it the night before so it comes of easy. Make sure you don't strip the fuel line while taking the filter out. It might be easier to have someone else do it for you if you live in a cold climate area. They run about 30 dollars at a parts store so they are pretty cheap. If you need step by step details go to this website and go to the drivetrain section. www.regalgs.orgHow do you change the fuel filter on 2000 Pontiac Bonneville ssei?If the filter is under the hood you can do the job yourself.
Disconnect the + cable from the battery.
Wear safety glasses.
Wipe the old filter and the fuel lines around it to remove any dirt etc.
Have a few rags available for some spillage. With the car off the fuel line is not under pressure. You will need at least 2 wrenches to loosen the flare nuts leading %26quot;in%26quot; and %26quot;out%26quot; of the filter.
Loosen and remove both fuel lines.
The fuel filter may be held in place as well with a clamp and you will need to remove the filter form this %26quot;holder%26quot;.
If possible depending on how the holder is designed it may be easier to reconnect the new filter and it's fuel lines before re-installing it into the holder. Be mindful of he new gaskets that may be included with the ne filter and be sure that the old gaskets are not still in place on the end of the fuel lines.
Re-install, tighten up, and double check your work.
Wipe up any mess possible left over from the fuel, allow it to sit a few minutes before connecting the battery back up.
Check work again, test start the car by turning the key on, wit 5 seconds to allow the fuel pump in the gas tank to apply fuel pressure then engage the starter.
It may not catch right away as the inside of the new filter is dry so you may have to repeat the previous starting step.
If you have any doubts, hit the local library and photocopy a page from a repair manual for you car regarding fuel filter replacement.
Good luck and no smoking during this job. :)

How do you change the fuel filter on a 2002 Ford Explorer?
Specifically, what steps need to be taken to reduce pressure from fuel system?How do you change the fuel filter on a 2002 Ford Explorer?Yours is a nightmare and needs to be done preferably by a experienced person.
If you still want to tackle it, you can either disconnect the fuse/relay that powers the fuel pump and start the vehicle till it runs out of gas, or on almost all of them, their is a schrader valve (like a tire valve) on the fuel rail under the plastic cover on top of the motor.. it uses two torx fasteners near the oil filler cap
take the cover off the schrader and depress the valve till all fuel is gone.
Jack up and put jack stands under the vehicle on right side, the fuel filter is under a cover, just behind the right exhaust the cover has two bolts that hold it up (there may be a few more covering some covers) but the fuel filter has two clips that use a fuel line tool (available at the national chain stores like autozone and Napa)to remove.
it pulls out of it's holder.and just reassemble and cycle the key on and off a couple of times to inspect for leaks then start and recheck for leaks.
But IMO, this fuel filter and the one on my old f-150 are the worst ones and is worth paying a professional mechanic for the heartacheHow do you change the fuel filter on a 2002 Ford Explorer?Follow the fuel line to the filter. Mine was on the driver side under the door frame and I had to unbolt it from chasis. It had some-kind-of nipple interlock that freed by pushing or pulling.How do you change the fuel filter on a 2002 Ford Explorer?first you need to get a specalty tool that fits into the connector where the fuel lines fit into the filter just put the tool around the line push it towards the filter while pulling on the line it should pop right off but it is a bear....good luck
