4.3.9. Replacement of the fuel filter

According to recommendations of manufacturer the fuel filter is replaced in one year of operation or through 10 000 km of a run (depending on what will come earlier). However taking into account operating experience of cars in the Russian conditions we recommend to replace it through each 5–6 thousand km of a run. Breakthroughs at the movement of the car at first on high, and then and at the lowered speeds with a high probability testify to a filter contamination.

The fuel filter is installed in a motor compartment near the vacuum amplifier of brakes.

1. Reduce pressure in a fuel supply system (see. "Pressure decrease in a power supply system").

2. Squeeze clamps …	3. … also disconnect a tip of the taking-away fuel-supply line from the filter.

4. Similarly disconnect a tip of the bringing fuel-supply line on the other side of the filter.	5. Overcoming effort of the holder, remove the fuel filter from the car.

6. Install the new fuel filter as it should be, the return to removal so that the arrow on a cylindrical part of the case of the filter coincided with the direction of a stream of fuel. Connect tips of fuel hoses to the filter the movement along unions to a zashchelkivaniye of clamps.

    

PREVENTION After installation of the fuel filter surely check at the working engine of connection of the fuel filter with fuel-supply lines for existence of leak of gasoline. If necessary repeat operation of connection of fuel-supply lines before their reliable fixing. If leaks from connections are not eliminated, replace sealing rubber rings of tips of fuel-supply lines or fuel-supply lines assembled.
