Yes it is, did I not make it clear before ???

No, perhaps you should reiterate...

Just read through this thread, and I can't put my finger on what I have to be careful about when replacing the fuel filter!!

I'd watch the clips on the filter. They can be tricky !!

I second that...

 

During my last service, the guys in the garage told me afterwards they'd been really careful with them, just in case, as they couldve broken them if they werent..

Noooooooooo, not again, please.

"This is the song that never ends.....

Yes, it goes... on and on my friends...

Some people started singing it not knowing what it was...

and they'll continue singing it for ever,

just because....

This is the song that ends.............

 

Mines held on with zip ties. Guess someone broke it at some point.

Nah that'll be the actual filter. We're talking about the fuel lines themselves. See they got these little clips that you have to be really ..... oh wait !!!

Well when you get around to fitting it, remember to be careful with those clips.

I reckon he's too worried about the clips breaking to go about the change

I am sure a repeat of the process wont go amiss...

Easy enough job, just be careful with the clips

You complete mincers. Hang your heads in shame!

 

I did my fuel filter when I bought my Octy, and I have just done it again, 40 odd thousand miles later.

 

On both occasions, I attacked my clips with long nose pliers and a hefty screwdriver.

 

They are still happy and fighting another day!

 

Ooo, risk taker! It hasn't really been mentioned but those clips can be delicate.
