Do the following operations to replace your vehicles fuel filter...
REMOVAL:
Properly relieve the fuel system pressure.
If not done already, disconnect the negative battery cable.
Raise and safely support the vehicle.
Unfasten the quick-connect fuel supply line from the filter/regulator nipple.
Depress the locking spring tab, located on the side of the fuel filter/regulator, then rotate 30° and pull out. Make sure the upper and lower O-rings are still on the filter assembly.
INSTALLATION:
Lightly coat the filter O-rings with clean engine oil. Insert the filter into the opening in the fuel pump module, then align the 2 hold-down tabs with the flange.
While applying downward pressure, rotate the filter clockwise until the spring tab catches in the locating slot.
Attach the fuel line to the filter/regulator assembly.
Carefully lower the vehicle, then connect the negative battery cable.
You should not need to remove or drop the fuel tank to reach the filter..
