Fuel filter

I have a 1005 Geo Prizm and I need to change the back brakes, the exhaust fom the converter to the muffler and I would like to change the fuel filter. For someone who wants to learn about cars how long will they take me, where is the fuel filter located and what is the best way to do all this. I'm low on funds so I woud like to try it all myself.

Where is the fuel filter located?

I am trying to locate the gas filter on my 1991 Geo Prizim and want to replace it. It is fuel injected and a 4cyl - 1.6 model. Can you tell me where it is located? I have visited different stores and my gas filter looks like a small oil filter with a vapor return line, contrary to what they are showing me. I am guessing it's under the power brake booster. Can I be looking at the wrong part? I'm confused.

Also, where is the fuel pump located?

Many Thanks

You were exactly right. Thank you! It looks like it was never replaced so I'm soaking it in "Liquid - Wrench" for 2 days and will take it out. I know the lines can twist easy and are probably rusted.

I was looking at the charcoal cannister filter and mistook it for the filter.

Kudo's on your input!

Thank you again!

Sure, thanks for the tip. Anything that makes the job easier is welcome.

Thanks again

As you can see, it's in prestine condition with only 78,000 miles on it. Everything is relaced, even the timing belt to the radiator!

This should go 200,000 miles for sure with Castrol oil and a detergent such as CD-2. I have been using it since a kid and reccomend it.

I changed my oil last November and added it. In April when it was drained, it looked like new oil. Good stuff and I highy reccomend it!

I am trying to locate the fuel filter in a 91 Geo Prism. Can anyone tell me where it is located?

I was given the right advice but reccomend that you soak the bottom line real good with the PB I was told to use. I used Liquid Wrench and it never came loose.

I took the induction (air intake) off and loosened the top line rather easily. After that, I tried loosening the bottom line. I never got it off and wound up in the shop. It's because that fitting is exposed to the ground and elements and makes it tough to get off. The firewall bolts that hold the filter in place are cumbersome to get off but wit a little patience and scraped knuckles, you'll get em' off.

Don't do what I did. Use the PB penetrant and let it soak, soak, soak.

What a dumb design, that filter should be exposed on top!

Next time it's PB for me.

My husband and I attempted to remove the fuel filter in our 91 Geo Prizm, but were unable to get the bottom flare nut off - we took it to a reputable mechanic, and they also could not get it off, and had to cut the line.

They since have not been able to replace any type of filter with any combination of clamps or lines or o-rings, etc. Because to my understanding that bottom flare nut leaks heavily with any filter they can use that accurately attaches to the top line. The Chevy Dealer in town was unable to give them any advice on parts besides the possibility of metric measurements, which the mechanics were aware of.

Any advice you can give? They've essentially told us they can't replace it, so now we have a car that's been in the shop for over two weeks with no fuel filter nor any options of having one installed so that it's safely driveable.

Thank you for your time.
