I've gotta fuel filter question

[alpinetiburon04]

How do I change it? Any good info I should know? Any good pictures of that area?

96 and earlier, it's on the frame rail back by the gas tank.

97 and later, it's in the tank.

Yeah, sorry about this: It's a 1991 XJ with a 4.0L HO 4x4 4dr. It's also got a 1990 oil filter adapter on it. Is there anything I should know before I attempt to do this? Cause I could just pay one of my stoner mechanics $10 and he'll do it tomorrow night. I'd just rather save the money and learn something.

Change the hoses while your there.Use a hose for fuel injection not regular gas hose,you will need a piece of 5/16 hose about 2ft and about 4" of 3/8 hose to run from the filter to the fuel line.
Larger hose from tank to filter---about $8.00 for the filter,$12.00 for the hose.

Get new hose clamps. Do it on a cold vehicle, loosen hose clamps, wrap rag around fitting area and disconnect line. No need to depressurize system, be prepared for gas to pour out.
