MX5 FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT

[@biglar155]

Perfect. Very concise. I watched another video where the gentleman spent 25 minutes talking to give me the same information you did in less than 5.

[@Project380]

im here to give you just the info you need. dont you just hate the videos you have to skip most of just to find the info you need

[@timothybrocas]

Just followed this thanks heaps ! For anyone wondering, the fuel line remover is 5/16th if you’re like me and used the 3/4 and couldn’t get the line off 😂😂

[@Project380]

thank you 😎

[@BartSparrow123]

After doing this by this video, my real world experience advice: Get the TOP connector off FIRST! The lower connection which is the "IN" connection will just run fuel out until the entire fuel tank drains! It will NOT stop. So get the top loose and then take the 10mm bolt out, then do the lower connector.

[@Project380]

That is a really good point, thank you

[@BartSparrow123]

I will also say, if your fuel filter is original it is 100% bad. Changing my fuel filter stopped my cold start rpm and stalling issues and the car runs better now at all rpms and loads! Can't believe the difference.

Your content has helped me a great deal whilst building my mx5.

Nice way to clean your oil catch tray too 🙂 (petrol acts as a degreaser).

[@Project380]

😂well your right

[@MrScooterdude2]

Changed mine last year on my 98 mk2 project and it looked like it had never been changed.... bolt in the clamped bit of metal sheered off instantly (like cheese) :/ so had to remove the bracket completely to drill out the remnants of the bolt on my bench

[@Project380]

o man tht sucks, these things do happen and i once had the same problem as you

[@SunnyDliteUK]

Luckily the bracket nuts came off easy! These cars are serious rust magnets haha

[@stefanjasenicky385]

“you should change every year” mine 21 year old be like “m i joke to you?”😂

[@Project380]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mertgayretlii]

First of all thank you for great videos. I have a problem and i need your help. I changed fuel pump and fuel filter on my NB. When i put ignition i don't here the pump priming at all and i try to start the car and the engine crank not starting and then suddenly like explosion and I'm getting leak from fuel filter area. Do you think it can be clugged injectors? Or bad fuel pressure regulator?

[@Project380]

Thank you I appreciate it. Take your fuel filter off and check it flows. If not it could be a big air lock

[@chrisa1234]

Can you put the caught fuel back in the car?

[@Project380]

you can, as long as the container you are draining it into is very clean

[@DarkDMD]

Hey so will all of your fuel drain out if you just let it sit there for a while?

[@Project380]

not all of it, if you keep the fuel cap on it should stop after a while

[@davidgaldamez8u170]

Where can I find those good vents though?

[@Project380]

the ones on the hood?

[@davidgaldamez8u170]

Yessir

[@davidjohnson10285]

Thanks m8

your welcome

[@warrenthethird6458]

Could you tell me what year this Miata is please? Thank you in advance!

[@Project380]

this is a 2004 svt

[@michaelsaywhat6980]

I'm having a really difficult time trying to remove my fuel line off from the fuel filter. I broke off the both side of the tabs on the retainers and still no budge. 😢

[@Project380]

have you de-pressurised the system?

[@michaelsaywhat6980]

@Project380 Yes, I did. It was stuck because the corrosion was so bad that the seals and o ring from the fuel line connector bind itself to the fuel filter. Luckily, all I had to do was buy new fuel line connectors, take off the new seals, and pop it back onto the old fuel line.

[@Project380]

@@michaelsaywhat6980 wow..... that filter must of been well old

[@michaelsaywhat6980]

@@Project380 yup

[@PilotScott-ey7lw]

Same, and still can’t get mine off. 22 years old, still the original filter. I’m the second owner - the original owner did nothing but oil changes.

[@jamesd6449]

Mine literally won’t start after changing it aghhh

[@Project380]

have you replaced the fuse? is the fuel pump running? have you installed it correctly?

[@maxcrowner4431]

Is there a way to do this without loosing half a tank of fuel? 😂

[@Project380]

either...... be really quick or do it with an empty tank 😉😉😉

[@刘凯-w1b]

Fuel rain from the gravity:( So ture

[@Project380]

Luckily i had a drip tray ready 😉

[@JohnCunningham-sy5ug]

Looks like a pain in the arse. I've decided not to work on my MX5 with out a lift.

[@Project380]

i wish i had the space for a lift

[@lespratt1902]

Not for NC model

[@Project380]

no this is for na /nb

[@jumpninthedarkalley]

Ty for comment

[@jumpninthedarkalley]

[@Project380]
