This video is part of a grouping of videos on how to do a tune-up. In this video I'll show you how to change your fuel filter. This car happens to be a Jeep cherokee but many cars, trucks, and SUV's will be the same or very similar to the install shown here.
**Update - Some newer model Jeeps, 97+ for the XJ (and maybe some other makes) have a fuel filter located inside the gas tank! The good news is that they are designed to last longer than the fuel pump, so the idea is that you replace them when you have to replace the fuel pump.

Note for those who are doing the job with a filter without an arrow. Small tube goes in towards engine. Big tube towards tank line. ❤️

@twilliamsusmc 7 месяцев назад

I’m one of those unlucky Jeep owners that has the fuel filter inside the fuel tank. At least the oil filter isn’t inside the oil pan. So the engineers heads were only 1/2 up their asses. How stupid that you have to drop the entire fuel tank to change a filter.

@drk321 10 лет назад

Well shot, well lit and clear explanation of all of the steps needed. I wish all how-to videos were done this well. Thanks!

A wide mouth funnel with a foot of small diameter hose attached (directed into a tall jug or small gasoline can makes catching that fuel a bit easier. Kind of awkward trying to hold up a bigger pan etc. Works for me! Fantastic demo Matt! 👌

Thanks Matt. Getting ready to do this on grandson's Cherokee, and this helped. Definitely want to have the new one ready to plug in before starting to avoid fuel leakage. Showing how to relieve fuel pressure helped too.

@shineything4444 7 лет назад

just to clear some issues up 97 and up cherokees have the fuel filter built right into the fuel pump module and have no choice but to replace the whole assembly meaning yep you guessed it drop the tank and pray you dont have alot of gas lol once its out take the old one out drain the gas and take the vent hose off and its clip and then use a little bit of oil to lube up the gasket so its easier to put in as it slides in and doesnt roll the gasket inside and heres the tricky part unless its just mine just keep screwing the lock ring it feels like its going on sideways and all sorts of binding but just keep screwing and tap it with a hammer and eventually itll pop on correctly i couldnt find an easier way but once its all together pop your vent hose and clips on pop it all back in and plug everything and reconnect everything and enjoy your new pump for more info check out 97 and up fuel pump videos on youtube there is one where i used and made life so much easier mines just a quick guide

@shineything4444 7 лет назад

oh also if your fuel pump still works remove the shrader valve from the check port on the fuel rail and jump the relay with a paper clip and get as much gas as you can out trust me it helps mine was shot and took 3 hours to drain but i had time lol so i focused on getting the bolts and everything prepped to be removed once the gas is out and then remove the straps (which WILL rust and be a pita to remove so dont be shocked if you break them) then remove the shield on the fill neck and vent pipes then the connector push the little red tab and pop it off along with the vent hose and fuel line (also be sure to relief the pressure with that check port as mentioned before) and pray to god gas doesnt spray into your face and eyes as it burns quite alot but if you do wash your face off and then after a few minutes of bitching and cursing that you hate every single thing possible that you see and come across and insult your cat low and behold the tank is ready to be removed

Yup I got my 89 about 6months ago, guy who sold it to me said he maintained it, once I started digging into it I found out it was all a lie. It's been fun working on it, most of the work is easy and self explanatory, doing the file filter today.

@thrett22 10 лет назад

bleepinjeep 11 mpg. UPDATE. Thanx to these videos by bleepinjeep I did my own tune-up to my own Jeep. Keep in mind that I am not a mechanic, not even close. With the right tools I looked up on the internet I changed the spark plugs, cap, rotor, plug wires, air filter, oil filter, oil change, parts cost less than $90. Checker Auto Parts. I was Quoted 285 bux at a shop! Auto lite platinum plugs- about $3 each New cap- about $20 rotor- about $15 on the high side, can get one for only $6 plug wires- $30-$35 for a good set of Auto lite wires Plus having the Haynes Manual any particulars was cool. Jeep jumps at the lights now and my mpg went from 11mpg to 18mpg so far. I just put some lucas products in so i'll update you in a bit.Thanx BJ

I figured maybe fuel pump going out?? Swapped it, still have a stumble when I first start it once I put my foot on the gas a teeny bit it runs smooth. I'm stumped!!!

@hallhouse5098 4 года назад

What symbol? Try cleaning your idle control valve located in your throttle body. 2-#20 torx screws. Get some good carb cleaner and clean all the carbon off of the valve being careful of the rubber O-ring. Also try adjusting your throttle valve cable/easy. Lots of vids on how to do that.

@A70M1CN1NJ4 11 лет назад

Tip: use hose clamps on either side of the filter to stop the gas from coming out. And fuel eats latex gloves, keep a few sets spare when working with fuel.

@jaguiar45 5 лет назад

This is a long shot but does anyone know what that hose that comes out of the top of the brake line "block" and goes into the frame behind the fuel filter is? It's only on the left rear and mine is leaking bad and I don't know what it is or how to replace it.

@BeAFixer Год назад

This is the rear axle breather line. A passage goes right through that "block" into the axle. It vents into the frame behind fuel filter to prevent getting the end of the line plugged or sucking water into the axle. Axles need to be vented or there will be a pressure diff inside as temperature changes which can cause axle seals, pinion seal, or diff cover gaskets to leak. The vent line should only contain air and is not pressurized. If it's leaking gear oil it might mean you have a bad connection (remove nipple/screw, clean up threads, apply teflon tape when re-assembling), or line is plugged and pressure is building up in your axle, or you have overfilled your diff with gear oil, or parked on significant slope so all gear oil is draining from diff into your left axle tube). A replacement "block" can be purchase at Rock Auto (search for "brake hose, rear center). The breather hose can be replaced with any petroleum compatible hose and ordinary hose clamps (any fuel line of correct diameter). Aside: it's fairly common on offroad builds to install a longer breather hose to vent higher up. Basically a snorkel for your axle. It allows crossing deep water without sucking water into the axle (water crossing will cool the axle causing pressure inside to drop quickly which will suck water into the breather tube if the end of the tube is under water).

@edwardbanegas2153 5 лет назад

what year is that Cherokee, I have a 1999 and AutoZone just told me that I don't have a filter anywhere only the strainer in the tank?? Is that accurate

@AWD_T 10 лет назад

@thrett22 10 лет назад

This may be a dumb question but when you released fuel pressure, do we have to rebuild that pressure? If so, how do we do that. Great video btw thank you.

@mountainmodelcastingdobrow3430 8 лет назад

Just start the vehicle. as soon as you turn the ignition on. Pump comes on and pressurizes the fuel log.
