How to replace fuel filter on a Jeep Wrangler (YJ, '90, 6cyl)

2014-05-07
all right so they were going to replace the fuel filter on a 1990 Jeep Wrangler this little guy right here is the fuel filter so on your filter itself I already have the new replacement part they're pretty cheap on Amazon so I'm going to put a link in the video description below for that and then in the filter itself you can see it says in right here that's saying from the gas tank into the filter and on the outside that's going out to the engine the gasoline it's a little bit easier on this type of fuel filter because there's two nozzles on the side that goes to the engine and one nozzle on the other side I have worked with other jeeps in the past I think the four-cylinder Jeep the fuel filter is underneath by that back tire but on this particular six-cylinder engine is right here by the by the head anyway so I'm going to go ahead and take out these three screws right here right here and right here to loosen up the hoses one thing you also have to remember while doing this is that there is gas in that filter so there is going to be a lot of leakage I wouldn't imagine there's going to be more than 3/4 of a cup half a cup in there I was going to take some paper towels and put it up underneath the engine to absorb all that extra gas and there you go there's the old filter right there a lot of people online recommend changing needs about every 30,000 miles or so or every two years a lot of the manufacturers say that they never need to be replaced so it's just kind of depends on what you want to do I personally every time I get a new vehicle I swap out the fuel filter just because you never know what kind of gas has been in it before one bad tank of gas could mess up a fuel filter and they're cheap enough as you can see from the link in the video description I'm going to take my new filter and just pop it in the same hoses that it was in before and then tighten down those same screws there you go that's how you change the fuel filter on a Jeep Wrangler thanks for watching so I smashed open the old filter you can kind of see like this is just what filters out the old gas is just like a bunch of little cardboard like paper strips almost and the gas inside of this was a lot Brown a lot more Brown than what it should be you know when gas comes out of the nozzle it's kind of like a golden color this is like a dirty brown so it's definitely time to switch this thing out
