Awesome video. Changed my wife's fuel filter in under five minutes. Thanks for the help.

[@2carpros]

Thanks for watching!

[@dvdqun]

It would be nice to show the location on the vehicle!

[@2carpros]

It is underneath in the back near the gas tank.

Facts

[@lukeconklin9196]

If u can't find the filter on this vehicle u r a dumb ass

[@jleesjerry]

Excellent view of how to pop the clips off.

[@josephjohn3560]

Thank you for the video.

[@2carpros]

Thanks for watching!

[@Rex211Bacon]

Just did it. Thank you very much

[@2carpros]

Fantastic!

[@Usmanthemecano]

Forgot to show the part where the relay was taken out to release the pressure off the fuel lines. Make sure you do that and run the car till it dies out before swapping parts

[@2carpros]

affane78 This is incorrect the fuel pump is only running when the key is in the on position. As long as you have the key out of the ignition you should be fine. Please subscribe if you haven't already.

[@Derfstang]

You are both correct depending on the situation. If the vehicle has been run recently, there will be residual pressure in the system. You will need to pull the fuel pump relay or fuse, restart the vehicle, and let it run until it dies to assure no pressure is in the fuel lines. If the vehicle has been sitting for 6+ hours, the fuel line will not retain any residual pressure and it will be fine to work on as-is.

[@2carpros]

good call

[@Usmanthemecano]

Hmmm...car pros? Or cons rather

[@2carpros]

Yes, sorry about that it is best if you let the system pressure off first, we will inform people of that in our next video thanks for the comment.

[@uc383]

Just to share a comment for others about to do this on a 2006 2.3L. It's super simple. Takes like 10 minutes between start to finish, just allowing a few minutes to let the fuel drain. The clips on the 2006 are super easy to release, being just squeeze one side with the screwdriver (as shown in the vid, same exact clip types) and push up with your thumb, unlike quick connects I've had to deal with in the past (needing a release tool and can still be a PITA to get free).

[@wild9085]

Any chance you could tell me what that 2 wire harness is attached to, about a foot to the right, in this video? I can't seem to find any info online! Thanks

[@008Sercanu]

Hi, what is the black cover next to the fuel filtre??? the one to the right, not the tank. Posibile another fuel pump ? I have some noise coming out from under the car and it looks like is from inside that cover . I did had 2 fuel pumps on my BMW and I’m thinking that maybe this escape have 2 fuel pumps also.

[@robinlawson2145]

Does it matter which direction the arrow on the replacement filter points toward? Thank you for your help.

[@takistakis456]

yes, you must instal the filter the same way it came out, as one side is for filtering and the other side is the filtered fuel. hope this helps

[@gibson7654]

Could you show how to do it on 2008 escape hybrid?

[@justice1763]

Great video I have a Mazda Tribute

[@2carpros]

Thanks! 👍

[@jonnysjetta]

I like the music!!

[@2carpros]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@joesixpack7551]

...where is it located?

[@mnv-slim2807]

Where is the filter located? Engine bay, under the gas tank, where??? And, do you need to disconnect the battery?

[@mariofalz]

Great and informative video! What is the music you used?

[@keisi1574]

I think it's Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin.

[@danbirch4471]

Great advice and even better music!!

[@2carpros]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@fmcmla]

That second fuel line clip is a pain to push free.

[@2carpros]

Ya it is, just keep on it though

[@blaaq360]

Where exactly is it located

[@jimmywang09]

Yes but where is it located

[@eDWArD2453]

What is the point of doing this exactly? I have a heavy gas smell coming from my ford escape with no leak on the ground! Is this the remedy to that?

[@allenwayne6823]

would full tank of fuel flow all out?

[@ednja]

No because the fuel exits the tuel tank at the top and must be pumped out. The fuel pressure should be relieved before opening the fuel line. The pressure could be up to about 50PSI and could otherwise spray all over the place including in your eyes.

[@user-gh3ck3bb9d]

Dose it matter if u have gas in it or not?

[@raymondbryant9021]

is Mazda tribute and Ford escape the same?

[@JenniferFuchek]

Pretty much

[@NewMediaPampanga]

yes same...except for the body...

[@brandenMAN209]

Soooo where is it?

[@Flying_Fetus]

Are those hoses dry break or something? I noticed you didn't clamp anything and was waiting for you to be covered in fuel. My Miata definitely doesn't have dry break hoses 😂 just picked up this Mazda Tribute as a beater.

[@2carpros]

Not a ton of gas is in there and when it's not under pressure it wont flow out a bunch. Thanks for watching!

[@Flying_Fetus]

@@2carpros so my vehicle doesn't run so I'm not able to burn it off, I'm doing the fuel filter in addition to fuel pump, coils, plugs, wiring harness, EGR valve, vacuum hoses, filters, fluids, it's an overhaul this car sat in someone's barn for a long time. It was free. But there is gas in the tank that's apparently not very old, from the previous owner trying to get it going. Probably 2 gallons. My Miata has rubber lines that I was able to clamp but these don't look like regular rubber hose and clamps.

[@connieadamson8661]

Are the Ford escape the same as the Mazda tribute 2002 v 6

[@2carpros]

Yeah they are very similar if not the same in most cases. Thanks for watching!

[@norway_says9018]

What if its rusted to oblivion

[@justinreynolds3935]

For those asking where a fuel filter is located. Don't do this yourself. You still have a lot to learn. Lol.

[@msntung]

How do you release the pressure?

[@2carpros]

Removing the line releases the pressure. Actually it helps get the line off. Just take the gas cap off so it doesn't keep dumping fuel everywhere. Thanks for watching!

[@msntung]

@@2carpros thank you. Great video

[@bridgetkurr1776]

How do you depressurize the fuel system before starting?

[@2carpros]

Just remove the line it will depressurize. Thanks for watching!

[@ismaelcampos8356]

my fuel pump is no working

[@ismaelcampos8356]

hey

[@codywright4910]

You should of released the fuel pressure via the fuel rail Schrader cable before working on it as that could of sprayed everywhere .... Always pull the fuse and run it till it dies or release the Schrader valve before servicing this !!!!!

[@2carpros]

If you remove the line the pressure is released. Just have a drain pan ready. Thanks for watching Cody!

[@fidencioruiz6088]

Wuooooow

[@PedroRodriguez-di8wv]

[@BillJAkers]

Your video is useless, you didn't show where the filter is located....

[@2carpros]

Follow the fuel lines from the tank. I know you will find it. Thanks for watching!

[@terminalvelocity4858]

Bill, how about asking politely where it is? Maybe even do a bit of research yourself, it's pretty simple and would take less effort and time to figure out on your own than you did leaving your hateful, rude and useless comment here. Thank you 2carpros for the informative and very helpful video!

[@Wolf-uz6wb]

how to know when to change it , thanks.
