Under the vehicle, on the driver side, about where the door is, on the inside of the frame you will see two fuel lines. One will run into a small silver cylinder like thing about 3-5 inches long. I'm not sure of the wrench sizes, but you will need one for both of the hex fittings. You need to twist both, ensuring not to put a twist into the fuel line. There will be these fitting on both sides of the filter. Have a drain pan ready, because the fuel lines will empty fuel left over in the lines.

Please ensure to pay attention to the small arrow on the fuel filter, which indicates the direction of flow. have the arrow on it pointing towards the front of the vehicle.

After replacing, turn key to on position, and wait for the fuel pump to turn off. Then start your vehicle, and you're ready to roll!

I hope this helps! Comment or ask me for clarification if I've been unclear about anything.

Removing the Fuel Filter

1 Unscrew the fuel cap. This will relieve the pressure in the fuel lines.

2 Crawl under the vehicle and locate the fuel filter. The filter is located by the cross member in front of the fuel tank.

3 Separate the tabs on the quick connect fitting and pull off from the fuel line. This is the inlet line.

4 Unscrew the outlet line with a crescent wrench. Pull the outlet line off the filter.

5 Unbolt the mounting bracket with a socket wrench. Pull the filter off.

Installing the Fuel Filter

1 Bolt the new filter to the mounting bracket with a socket wrench. Ensure the arrow points toward the front of the vehicle. The arrow indicates fuel flow.

2 Push the quick connect fitting on the inlet line of the filter. The fitting will click in place when the line is properly installed.

3 Bolt the outlet line to the filter with a crescent wrench. Ensure the line is snug.

4 Screw the gas cap back on to the fuel nozzle. Close the gas door.

5 Start the car to allow the fuel to circulate through the fuel lines. Listen for any stalling or hesitation

All WJ models have two fuel filters, a strainer filter at the bottom of the fuel pump module inside the fuel tank and one exterior filter within the fuel pressure regulator. Both filters are designed for extended service. They do not require normal scheduled maintenance. Filters should only be replaced if a diagnostic procedure indicates to do so.

The combination fuel filter/pressure regulator is located in front of the fuel tank and above the rear axle. It is transversely mounted to a chassis crossmember (left-to-right). The filter/regulator is equipped with 3 fuel line fittings (2 at one end and 1 at the other end). The single fitting facing the left side of the vehicle is the supply line to the fuel rail. The 2 fittings facing the right side of the vehicle are connected to the fuel tank. Of these 2 fittings, the fitting towards the front is used for fuel return to the fuel tank. The fitting towards the rear is a pressure line.

External filter/regulator removal
WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER A CONSTANT PRESSURE (EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF). BEFORE SERVICING ANY FUEL SYSTEM HOSES, FITTINGS OR LINES, THE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE MUST BE RELEASED.

1. Remove fuel fill cap.
2. Remove fuel pump relay from Power Distribution Center (PDC). For location of relay, refer to label on underside of PDC cover.
3. Start and run engine until it stalls.
4. Attempt restarting engine until it will no longer run.
5. Turn ignition key to OFF position.
6. Disconnect negative battery cable at battery.
7. Raise vehicle.
8. Clean area around 3 filter/regulator fittings.
9. Disconnect fuel supply, fuel return and fuel pressure lines at filter/regulator. Special tools may be required.
10. Remove 2 mounting bolts and remove filter/regulator.



External filter/regulator installation
1. Before installing filter/regulator, be sure all fittings are cleaned of all dirt and contaminants.
2. Be sure o-ring is positioned into fuel return fitting in filter/regulator.
3. Apply a small amount of clean engine oil to o-rings.
4. Position filter/regulator to body and install 2 bolts. Tighten bolts. Refer to Torque Specifications.
5. Connect 3 fittings.

on the frame rail just under the drivers side door.

On all C/K's of this body-type 88-98, the fuel filter is located under the driver's side door inside the frame rail near the crossmember that supports the tail of the transmission. Replace it with AC Delco part GF-626, FRAM part G3727, or other comparable brand corresponding metal bodied filter. You should use a flare-nut wrench for the line fitting and one for the filter fitting. I'm not sure of the size needed for the filter, but the line should be 5/8". For SFI engines ('96 and later) you need to bleed off the pressure in the line. Locate the pressure test port on the fuel rail under the hood, remove the cap, press valve to relieve line pressure and recap valve. If ground clearance is not high enough to get under vehicle and work, raise it with jack and rest frame on jackstands. * Caution: Fuel in lines and filter will run out once fittings are undone. Use fuel safe container to catch fuel spill. Take wrenches and hold filter from rotating, while loosening line fittings. Remove Filter from bracket by sliding and manipulating fuel lines for clearance, and slide filter out of bracket. Reassembly is reverse of disassembly. Tighten fittings snugly. Reconnect battery, turn ignition on (do not start). Pump will make brief whirring sound - less than 5 seconds. Check for leaks. No leaks - good. Now you can drive again.

Filter should be on drivers side of passenger side of car directly between the doors. To change shut off fuel pump relay switch in trunk, remove the clips and change the filter.
