I just got done changing my fuel filter (SC300). I dont know what you sissies are complaining about, when it comes to changing it. I mean,....I might even do it again, just for fun, tomorrow.

I read somewhere that once you crack the lines loos, ...to let the fuel drain off. It was supposed to be two liters, or so? NO.

After three gallons, I said screw it, ...and changed it with the gasoline pouring. Probably took 10-15 minutes. Im glad the fittings werent seized on. I did use penetrating spray before-hand.

BTW, I got my filter from Advance for $16 (puralator). Car runs tip top, now.

Oh, ...and I only got minimum chemical burns on my hand and forearm. And, a little gasoline in my eyes. I dont recommend to use, in place of Visine.


Piece of cake!

What year model is your SC and what is the mileage on your car?
Do you really feel the difference?

I need to do this soon. Mine is 95 with 100K miles.

185K miles, SC300 5 spd.. It feels like it did before it wouldnt start. No better, ....no worse.

I think I'd get like a vacuum line cap or *something* to put over the end of the disconnected fuel line rather than just bathe in it. :P

If I would have capped it off, it would have done no good. I didnt remove the filter and just lay under it. I had the new filter ready to go.

Sounds like the puralator filter did better than my Lexus , took me 30 min. BY the way you cant cap the line while your changing it, I suppose the gas continues to run out because the tank is mounted so high. I tried to take the gas cap off and it didnt make any differance.
