i went to go change fuel filter, and forgot to dissable the fuel pumop fuse, where is it, i cant see anything, i would assume it would be in the fuse box next to the battery, and i assume again it is combined with something else, but what...

also having troubles getting one of the nuts undone on the filter, she wont budge.

please help, any info greatly needed.

cheers

Easier to unplug the fuel pump's wiring IMO. Or if it hasnt been run for, say, overnight, fuel pressure should have subsided.

Fuel filter... vice grips

only just got home, so will be still pressureised.

i will have a look at fuel pump, not sure where it is havent had a good look at that.

gotta love the vice grips.

isnt there a relay under the coolant tank. not sure which of the 3 tho. You take out the fuel pump relay and start the car to release the pressure, even after all that u will still have fuel come out of the lines after removing the filter.

yeah cheers guys, all done.

But i couldnt get to the fuel pump, as i was told it was in the boot under a little panel, panel was glued down, so....

I just cracked the lines with pressure still there, and itell ya what petrol in the eyes stings like a b**ch.

I mangled one of the nuts on the fuel line with the vice grips, she was as tight as all f**k, still factory filter, in in the process of mangleing the nut, i twisted the fuel lines, well bent them anyways, u have no idea how tight they were, stupidly tight.

but all done now, hopefully it fixes my start up problems i have been having.
