My engine dies out when it needs additional fuel to get over bridges and overpasses. It acts like it's starving for fuel; so I think I will start by changing the fuel filter. Where do I locate the fuel filter on the vehicle, and how difficult will it be to change it?2003 Chevy Suburban; changing the fuel filter, how?
Stay safe.. take it to a reputable service garage or better ..your Chevy dealership. A few bucks spent wisely can save you gas mileage and possible hundreds more if you foul up something major as you try to change this filter.
Who knows??? Your engine might need tuning or even diagnostics.2003 Chevy Suburban; changing the fuel filter, how?
look under your vehicle on the drivers side by the frame, it should be a round filter and theres 2 lines you have to take off, but make sure you releave the pressure first, by taking off the gas cap.2003 Chevy Suburban; changing the fuel filter, how?
Its easy, its below the drivers side, its located on the frame.It will be probably below the back door. it has one fuel line %26quot;metal tubing' running into one side and out the the other. Its about the size of your fist.2003 Chevy Suburban; changing the fuel filter, how?
it is located along the inside of the drivers side frame rail, to change it you only need a couple of wrenches, just try to avoid getting sprayed with the initial fuel pressure release.2003 Chevy Suburban; changing the fuel filter, how?
Follow the fuel line from the fuel tank towards the engine till you see a soda can sized canister , it should have a metal strap around it holding it to the frame. The lines are under pressure so run the truck then pull the fuel pump fuse while its still running. Use line wrenches so you don't round down the fittings on the fuel lines. Some gas will drip out so do this in a well ventilated area. Its not hard to change but it might be hard to get off, spray some penetrating oil( PB Blaster) on it to dissolve any rust around the fittings. Install the new fuel filter ( arrow pionting towards the engine), replace the fuel pump fuse and start it up and check for leaks. The fuel filter might be about $15.00 dollars. If you can't find it...I have heard of some cars/trucks that do have the fuel filter in the fuel tank, thats not a job for most car/truck owners.2003 Chevy Suburban; changing the fuel filter, how?
Ans 1 is correct. 15mm wrench needed.
