Question about fuel filter
 
Can anyone tell me what the recommended interval is for replacing the
fuel filter in a TJ?

L.W.(=?iso-8859-1?Q?=DFill?=) Hughes III 03-06-2004 02:29 AM

Re: Question about fuel filter
 
It is not mention in 120,000 miles of scheduled maintenance:
http://www.----------.com/lubeschedule.pdf :-( I think it's usually
changed when it blows the electric fuel pump at about a hundred and
twenty thousand miles.

You must have been the one doing the maintenance on my YJ, Bill. :-)
I crawled under it last weekend to change the filter(the last item on
my preventitive maintenance list that I hadn't gotten to)only to
discover it still had the factory, crimp-on clamps installed...with
165,000 miles on it.
I expect the pump with go any time now. :-(

I next crawled under my wife's new(to her)YJ and noticed that the
clamps have already been replaced, so that filter's been changed at
least once in the 170k it's got on the clock.

I usually change 'em every 30k or so...that's about the interval that
GM reccommends, and it's cheap insurance...I don't think I paid more
than $11 for the WIX I put on there.

With that much milage it's far more likely to be the O2 sensor
or a plugged cat. Although reduced fuel flow could be the cause.

Check your plugs for excess carbon. If they all show lots of carbon
it's your O2 sensor sending a false reading. If just a few are
ugly it could be leaky injectors. For that you need to do a pressure
leak-down test on the rail.

Inside the frame rail, on the drivers side above the front half of the
spring. There's a shield you have to remove to get to it.

When I worked a general auto repair shop here, we would get tourists in all
the time who's vehicles worked fine until they started climbing into the
mountains. Some gas stations leak a lot of dirt and water in the tanks, and
you can't tell which ones they are. I change my fuel filters every 2 years,
when I do the annual coolant and transmission fluid, diff and t-case oils,
repack wheel bearings, brake fluid,etc. ( or more often, depending on how
much mud/water I have been thru)
I always change the fuel filter first in any mileage/power problem that
doesn't seem to be ignition related, like a thermostat on any heat problem.
They are both cheap and if it doesn't fix it, should be the first step in
further diagnosis anyway. I always use a short piece of fuel line and blow
the filter backwards into a clean cup, to see how much crud is in there, and
get an idea of how clogged it was. It is important to find out if it was
clogged, or you are guessing at whether it will make a difference or was the
problem. Someone sells a special cutter for opening filters to inspect them,
a pipe cutter works fine.
On my Jeepster, I seem get a lot of water and crud in the tank, so I
installed a large Racor diesel fuel/water separator filter unit, and drain
water out of it monthly.
Many "factory recommended service intervals" are a bad joke. Some makers
never recommend changes in trans fluid, brake fluid, etc. Mercedes used to
last nearly forever because of extensive routine maintenance. They even put
grease fittings on door hinges. It can't hurt to do REAL maintenance on your
vehicle.

Wile back I found a mod that used an industrial? gasoline filter to help keep
dirt out of the system.

This is sorta the idea.
http://www.ibmwr.org/r-tech/oilheads...l_filter.shtml

BLARG! can't find it. :/ The filter was about as round as a soda can but shorter.
Looked a lot like an oil filter.

Wile back I found a mod that used an industrial? gasoline filter to help keep
