First - Safety is always the key to working with fuel:
1) Remove from the area of work anything that could ignite the fuel, 'High intensity shop lights, no smoking'
2) Work with a flash light or directional battery operated light if its dark.

Two tools to have in my opinion -
1) Pliers
2) Needle nose

1st - use the pliers to spin/break the hose end loose over the In and out flang of the fuel filter.

2nd - If you have a needle nose pliers which have a very narrow nose end.
Place the nose end all the way at the hose end that's over the fuel filter's intake/output flange.
You then can leverage the hose off by forcing the body of the needle nose up against the body of the filter.
Just like a teeter totter where the body of the filter becomes the /\ fulcrum of the teeter totter.
Hope this makes sense?
Blessings,

Do you have a picture of a 2002 gmc yukon fuel filter?

This particular filter is just an example of the fuel filter for an '02 GMC Yukon XL. The link I've provided is specifically for regular unleaded fuel. If your Yukon is a "Flex Fuel" (can use either unleaded or E85 gasoline) the specific filter/part number will be different. Otherwise the filter itself looks exactly the same. And if you're not certain, the filter should be located along the driver side inner frame rail...below the driver's seat.
Good luck

The location is on the driver side frame rail on the inside a few feet from the fuel tank forward. You need remove the negative terminal from the battery then open the gas cap to relieve the pressure then loosen the filter ie.open end wench or crecent wrench discard filter make sure the flow indicator is going the correct way away from tank. Tighten new filter connect, battery terminal, prime fuel lines by switching the key forward a few times then start. Good Luck

2002 GMC YUKON XL 1500 MOTOR DIES AFTER GOING

Check the fuel cap!! If the vacuum relief is not working it can impede the fuel flow and cause the engine to shut down or not restart after a stop. Waiting usually gives things a chance to stabalize and the engine will restsrt. When this happens again try loosening the cap and see if the engine will restart.....If it restarts immediately, REPLACE the fuel cap..Do Not leave it loose because this will cause other problems. If it is not the fuel cap the problem may be the filter, the fuel pump, or aome other fuel system malfunction.

2002 yukon xl no power check engine light

FROM: LustyKid

Denalis are famous for clogged fuel filters. Change the fuel filter first and see what happens, Get the code for the check engine light. It could be you have a clogged EGR ports. Remove EGR valve and clean out the ports, replace with new gasket and see what happens. Advise of results.
