Fuel pump filter — cleaning

We clean the filter without removing the pump from the car.

1. We prepare the car for operations (see "Vehicle preparation for maintenance and repair").

2. We clean the dirt with a rag and wash the outer surface of the fuel pump with white spirit or engine cleaner.

3. Using a 10 mm wrench, unscrew the bolt securing the top cover of the fuel pump.



4. Remove the cover and take out the filter.



5. We wash the filter with a carburetor cleaner or acetone and blow it with compressed air.

6. Install the filter and assemble the fuel pump in reverse order.
