I'm about to replace the fuel filter is the system presurized on the carby version?

Pressure not as high as EFI but you've still got a fuel pump in the tank
pushing gas up along the lines to the engine.

Depressurise it (run engine with fuel pump disconnected) before you disconnect
the fuel lines to the filter, you'll make less of a mess.

Carby isnt to bad, let it sit for an hour before you do it, and most of the fuel will run back to the tank...

just do it, its about 200ml of fuel at the worst. bleeding is for girls

Changed filter very little fuel came out, cut the old one open it was full of crap!!! :shock:

so it was working :P

if you want to get real anal about it you can empty your fuel tank and get the last few L out with all the gunk which is in there. sive the fuel and put it back in

My tank got drained... at $1.18 for Optimax, and the other car was almost out of fuel.
