[DML] Re: WANTS TO START-fuel filter?



Hi Dave,
The fuel filter is located under the car on the drivers side in front of the
rear wheel. You have to remove the splash guard first to get to it. Three
bolts (10mm). The filter is held to the body of the car with a bracket and
is about 3" in diameter and 5" long. The gas line is pressurized, so keep
your mouth shut when loosening the gas line fittings. You may want to keep a
small cake pan handy to catch the small amount of gas that leaks out of the
fittings.

Your accumulator keeps pressure on the gas line after the car is turned off.
Even if you had a major leak in the accumulator the car should run after the
fuel pump pressurized the main fuel line.

Whats the history of the car. Has it ever run or is this a sudden event, the
more information you give us the better answer we can give you.
