I thought it apparently didn't need changing?

[@tm5346]

Man pull of my set gonna pain I have a car set do you have to do this

[@ProjectMini]

If it didn’t need to be changed you wouldn’t need a filter.

[@ProjectMini]

I have no idea what you just said 🤷‍♂️

[@jarrethickman3993]

How many miles were on the car when this video was made?

[@alexanderstickler7762]

Great video. Would add the following note. On the threaded metal ring, there is a small hole and it denotes where the thread starts. If you position the hole slightly counterclockwise to the toothed plastic edge of the filter assembly, it will be in the right place to engage the thread. It is one full thread, so you want to spin the ring one full turn clockwise. The ring also has a stop on it so that it can't be over-tightened. If you turn (and tap with screwdriver/hammer, if needed) until the hole ends up in the same place as where you started, you will feel that point where it stops. Also, safety glasses a good idea.

Seems some people got MAD at me, gonna have to change my filter now, thanks for the video, gonna come in handy. I do most mechanic work on my vehicles myself, seeing as how shops are a rip-off. Once again , thank you for taking your time to show us normal working class folks how to do this repair, very grateful for your knowledge!

[@sarahgodin8998]

Just followed this video to replace my fuel filter. Additional fact; SMALL HANDS will struggle to remove the lid from the housing 🤣😂 I now understand why mechanics get really bad arthritis over the years. My hands are HURTING but I’m very thankful for your detailed video. The closest mini dealer is almost 45 miles away and I prefer to do things myself to save time and money. Thank you for your videos!! They’re really helping me out

Mini R56 N14 JCW 09’ 187.000km I did it 2 days ago, was quite simple, but first I forgot to replace the big thin black o-ring so the car wasn’t starting, reopened and put it back and all was good. Car starts perfectly :) Thanks for the vid from Belgium ! 😁

Thanks your mention. After change the filter the engine won't start. I also check the big thin o-ring again and can start

[@jaydee1389]

Okay so I realize I have all the tools I need to replace the fuel filter in my car. I'm going to save myself some money by doing that. I wont do my own spark plugs and ignition coils just yet. But I can totally do my own fuel filter. I think I can also do the cabin filter. I don't know where the air filter is in the car but if I figure it out, I'm changing it too. I'm kind of happy I skipped doing my nails this week :) Thank you so much for this video. My 2010 R56 is my first car and I'm learning so much about cars and how many headaches they bring. New brakes came with a new caliper because the rear brakes were never changed. He only had 35k miles when I got him, and I'm 100% sure he never had a tune up. So tune up is next with full service just because I want it to run without giving me any more headaches. I want to do as much as I can on my own just so I can learn more about how the car works.

[@ronnieagnew410]

Beware, even after the car has set overnight, when taking off the fuel line it will sqirt out with a lot of pressure. Got me in the face and eyes. Also, it wasn't clear on how to install the new outside filter housing "large blue one " gasket. You must first install that and then push the housing down on to it. It will never work putting it on the housing first. The sticker means the filter has never been changed. Dont really have to put a Mark on the spin cape. It will go on and just make it snug..Thanks for the video.

[@PrintTech-3D]

Remove the fuel pump fuse or the relay and run the car until it shuts off. That releases all the pressure in the line.

[@tm5346]

When do you need to change filter thanks for info!

[@irregular_force2602]

4:07 that label is from the tier-1 fuel tank supplier for that car so most likely your fuel filter was never replaced.

[@bogusphone8000]

Thank you for a detailed how to. Looking at doing this for my sons mini with 140,000 on it. I still prefer my Chevy's. Box end wrench, car jack, 5 minutes.

[@elis51501]

Thanks for the info, much appreciated, I ended up using a ratchet strap to hold the base of the filter and the large screwdriver to twist off the lid, then used the screwdriver to pry it off the base, 60611 miles on a 2011 mini s and the filter was as dark as yours was with dark gas in the housing.

[@desmond9704]

Good thing I watched your video before checking my fuel filter. Since the o rings need to be replaced when removing the fuel filter, I will wait until I have a new filter kit and just replace it rather than checking it and cleaning it.

For anyone struggling to seat the thick blue tank seal, instead of leaving it on the fuel filter housing, attach it to the top of the tank instead where it needs to go, then slide the housing through it and tighten it down. Use a little grease if you need to. You can risk pinching the seal if you try to force it on with the housing.

[@familieverhoeve7127]

Installing the new blue O ring in the tank first and then put the pump in, this is much easier and will; prevent leaking. Also put a little bit of oil on the rubber O ring inside the filter, this will prevent it from breaking on install. Silicone spray also works.

[@PneumaticFrog]

Use Vaseline since it's petroleum product, you don't want even a bit of oil or silicone getting in there my mans

Using a brass drift instead of a screwdriver to remove the lock ring would be preferred. Not super likely, but metal on metal could make a spark.

Tried to do this earlier today it was sealed so tight I couldn’t get the cap to twist...gotta grab a strap wrench.

[@trashketchum30]

Would relieving the fuel pressure at the rail help to not spray fuel when pulling the line from the housing? Some fuel spillage is inevitable, but I thought maybe that would cut down on it a bit.

[@ProjectMini]

Yeah, that would help

[@mikeymk9091]

Had you pressed the Schrader valve pin on the fuel rail, you wouldn't have had the pressure in the fuel line, subsequently avoiding the issue of spraying fuel about the interior whilst popping the pipe off... The Schrader valve (identical to a tyre valve, which is also a Schrader valve) is at the rear of the camshaft cover, on the left hand end of the engine.

[@superstephen4]

The 56 S's don't have Schrader valves, but yeah you can bleed pressure by loosening the line at the hpfp.

[@eliezerllanosrodriguez2238]

Great Video...keep making them...great help!

[@ProjectMini]

Thank you 🙏

[@4bersam]

Would be good to relief the fuel pressure by removing the fuel pump fuse and then start the car until it runs out of gas, with that you ensure sistem is not pressurized, it would make easier the removal of the fuel line and less risk of a fuel spill inside the vehicle. Good video!!

[@ProjectMini]

Thank you for that info! I’ll try that next time i work on the fuel system 👍

[@randyenos9209]

If your car is not your daily driver you can wait a day or so and the pressure will be sufficiently depleted.

[@alexanderstickler7762]

A wet rag and some soap, probably. Mine was caked with with road dirt (we have a lot of dirt roads in our area) that had found its way to the top side of the tank. There's not likely to be any actual grease stuff that can't be wiped away with a rag. The main thing is you want the area clean to avoid getting dirt and debris into the seal, the tank, and the filter.

What if you forgot to mark how tight it should be? Will that become an issue?

[@ProjectMini]

It might, just get it pretty snug without breaking it. If you smell fumes or have a leak tighten it more

[@alexanderstickler7762]

There is a hole on the ring that marks the start of the thread - line it up a little bit counterclockwise to the tooth edge on the back edge of the filter housing. It will go one full turn and then stop. There is a stop pressed into the ring that prevents overtightening.

[@vipdesignmuratmeral4317]

Hallo warum haben sie den filter gewechselt? Was war der grund dafür?

Is it necessary to disconnect the battery? I did that and now the electrics are all wrong, lights/locks dont work etc. Looking like its caused a problem with the FRM

You are working with the fuel system. It's always prudent to disconnect the battery when doing that to avoid spark hazard.

[@mariovasilev1855]

Hello! Thanks for the video! I have a question based on the comments here suggesting that I release the fuel pressure first before changing the filter. How do I set it under pressure afterwards? Is the car doing it by itself when I fake start it like at the end of the video or do I do something specific?

[@alexanderstickler7762]

Just turn the engine back on - the fuel pump will draw the fuel in and pressurize.

[@micheljones4970]

Great video. Well done.

[@aikobella]

It is a great video, I want to add that you need to twist to the leftwith the screwdriver when taking the pum apart than prime out with the screwdriver as the gentleman explain, later when u put it back together you need to put the pump head in and twist it to the right after getting the head inside the pump body, it has locker pin that need to be match. Also mark are good references but use finger nail Polish , because the gasoline will delete the mark

[@DanRaabecoach2014]

I am watching this video and I've done this job. What I don't understand is why the body did not go back into the tank easily. Is there something that can get in the way or get bent or needs to be dealt with when putting the body back into the tank? I had to push down hard to ge the metal ring to thread and then when I tightened the metal ring it popped off if I tightened it too far. Can you troubleshoot this a bit?

[@ProjectMini]

The gasket that goes inside the tank needs to go around the hole that you are putting it in. Its the hole in the actual tank.

[@DanRaabecoach2014]

@@ProjectMini I think I did that. I saw on the fuel filter video that you had to push the filter body into the tank as well. I used a little o ring tool to put the lip of the gasket into the filter body and I still had to push. Is that unusual. How would you test it to see if it is done right?

[@ProjectMini]

I think you might have missed part of the video. I was pushing at first because i had the gasket on wrong. Once i realized it i fixed it and explained the issue i was having

Well, I bought a fuel filter, popped off the backseat and unscrewed the lid behind the passenger seat only to find a plastic sheet covering the hole underneath the plate, there is no servicable fuel filter in european mini coopers apparantly, maybe in the cooper S, but not in the base cooper. Found out more people have had the same surprise as me. On the other side is the fuel pump, and there is no exchangeable fuel filter in that, I guess you have to replace the whole fuel pump if you get a clogged fuel supply.... How in the hell can they sell fuel filters for my mini when there is nowhere to fit it???!!!

Hi, FYI : There is no fuel filter on the R56 One/Cooper NON-S under the passenger seat (except on Korean and US versions).🤔 Mine (European R56 Cooper non-S of july 2007) hasn't one under seat. The only filter is the small pad on the fuel pump located under the left passenger rear seat (it looks like a Senseo Coffee pad ). You can only clean this pad with brake cleaner or ... replace the entire pump. On Diesel version, the filter is under the body on the left side of the car.🙂

[@tylerdevaney3788]

Why is my car not starting after I did this?

[@JoseRodriguez-gt8xn]

Did you figure it out im having the same problem

[@CakeEater23]

Decent video except you use a screwdriver to unscrew the top which is the most difficult part. I recommend using and suggesting people use proper tools. I thought I could get it done same way but cannot get the top of the filter housing unscrewed.
