Fuel filter I just need to know where the filter is and if there are any tricks to removal/replacement. thank you

Fuel Filter Replacement on 97 Explorer There's no trick, but you do need a special tool.

1. Remove the safety retainers from the fuel line/filter connections.

2. Install the special tool between the line & filter & slide it toward the filter to release the metal tangs that hold the line to the filter.

3. Slide the line off of the filter.

The fuel filter is usually found next to the fuel tank (driver side). It'll be somewhat tucked up under just between the wheel well and the tank.

Some have clamps, others have metal threaded inserts that the filter screws into. Before removing, find your the fuel port on the fuel rail and unscrew the black threaded tip; press the needle inside and (cover with rag or hand) and release the pressure.

You will still have some fuel leakage when removing the filter, but this is unavoidable. Releasing the pressure will keep you from being sprayed with fuel (rarely happens, but allows less fuel loss).

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

As a Land Rover Tech I can tell you that it is true that there is no filter on the series2 there is a small screen at the bottom of the pump pickup that acts as a filter,If you feel this is clogged you can remove the pump by pulling up the rear cargo area carpet as recommended above then just use break clean to clean the screen.Make sure you replace the pump gasket as a faulty gasket will cause a check engine light and a little trick I use is to put a small amount of vaseline on the gasket to ease installation.Also a quick note on series 1 filters is that the lines usually cease up causing the connections to break or damage when removing.I highly recommend getting the repair kit available at the dealer or rovers north before attempting to replace the filter . BUT IN REGULAR 2004 lan-drover discovery there is fuel filter located. Removing the fuel filter The fuel filter is located on bulk head, to left hand side of the engine.

Fitting the new fuel filter 6: Clean the seal & seating on the new filter.7: Put a small amount of fuel around the rubber seal to lubricate it.8: Screw the new filter onto the filter head and tighten by hand.10: Tighten the bleed screw.11: You can now crank the engine until fuel is drawn through the system and the engine starts.Job done!

Hello jfamily004: My name is Roger and I will answer for you. Open the trunk. pull the floor cover back at front of the trunk. Under the rear window area. You will see an access panel. Remove the screws and the cover. You will find the fuel filter under the cover. Before you remove the hoses remember that the fuel is under pressure. This should not require any special tools. Reverse your take off procedure to install the new filter.
Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the quality of your answer. This way I know the answer was helpful. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

right rear just in front of wheel. push clips back and remove old filter. apply new filter insuring flow is correct direction by arrow on filter press the clips back in place and you are ready. check to see if it is leaking.

look under the air filter box, bolted to the framerail

you got to have a special tool to release the fuel lines, the tool slids between the fuel line and filter and opens a round spring to let the line slip over the filter flage.
