Thumbs up

This is the 3rd time I've changed my fuel filter in 18,000 miles. You would not believe the ***** that came out of the other two filters. Mine average 5-6000 miles each.

It is located on the driver's side frame rail by the gas tank. You can't miss it. Easy to remove/replace with the proper line-disconnect tools (cheap A/C or fuel line removal tools at any parts store will work). I change mine every 10k miles.

I just did my first change at 8500 miles, along with my 3rd oil change. I figured what the hell change it before going to the track.
