Gotta be better than an eyeball full of fuel.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT I cannot for the life of me undo the two hoses going in/out of the fuel filter!!!Ive put a spanner on the filter and the smaller one on the fuel line and turn in the right directions and it wont budge at all !! I put some WD40 on there so hopefully its worked its magic a bit overnight and softened things up a little bit. VERY ANNOYING as I want to see how clogged up the filter is, and put on the new one :(Any tips?

Adam Here since the start...

Try 2 flare nut spanners that are good quality. I actually know of cases where the line had to cut and hose and clamps put in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
