Hi Steve, I changed my fuel filter a day or so ago in my 90 GL (system layout: tank, pump, filter, engine) and the filter is about the size of a large can of tomatoes. You get a few drops from the pump/tank side of the system (pumps blocks flow) but you get the full contents of the filter from the other side. And it is as simple as it looks: 2 hose clamps and a filter clamp (philips screw: clamps filter onto the frame). When you start it with the new filter is will take a few cranks but she'll light off. Good Luck Jere 90 GL 88 GL -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Steve Shane Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 9:10 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Fuel Filter Question Greetings gang. My Fuel filter on my 87 Vanagon began a slow drip today. Napa has them on hand, and I was wondering if they are as easy to replace as they look. (unscrew hose clamps and replace) When I remove the old one, should I expect major gas spillage, or is fuel not runing through the lines when the engine is not running? (AKA no fuel pump action going on) Do I need to worry about air in the lines, or will that just blow itself out? Thanks for your help fellow friends! - Steven Shane in N.
