Subaru Forester Intank Fuel Filter / Pump Replacement - DIY

#SUBARU #FORESTER #BOXER #E25 #DIY #Carer #Cars #Daily
I got this new daily drive for my mum mainly, there's a long story to it but I'll save that for later.
With high mileage about 177,000 I figured it could use a new fuel filter and I noticed fuel economy wasn't so good ether, so I decided to change it but soon learned that it was a little more difficult that I'd expected, but it wasn't to hard in the end, just a little more time consuming than normal.
I found the new Filter on eBay as a Ryco Z931.

thanks bro, great vid! love the attitude of just having a go and problem solving along the way

[@ScubaMade]

Haha thanks heaps for that, Much appreciated! I like having a go at things and getting them done!

[@danieltanglao4515]

Great video! Thanks for posting.

[@ScubaMade]

No problem, it helped the fuel economy a lot too, it came from 11L/100km to 9.8L/100km!

[@disc4tw]

Thanks for sharing this! It definitely gave me the confidence to do my own, even though my setup is a little different for the XT version in the US.

[@ScubaMade]

That’s awesome! No problem, thank you! And the fuel economy and performance will noticeably improve for you too 😃

[@vitalinonoelo2023]

your video was very useful to me, thank you very much, Brazil.

[@ScubaMade]

That’s awesome, thank you! The engine worked noticeably better after the new filter! Hope yours did too 😃

[@TheJeepwave]

Thanks. I’ve changed a few fuel pumps but never on a subaru. Makes it easier seeing it done first.

[@ScubaMade]

That’s good to hear, thank you! Much appreciated!! 😃

@@ScubaMade 😳 your speak Spanish ⁉️😳

[@ScubaMade]

No no, haha I have spent a lot of time in LA and some time in San Diego even walked over the border into Tijuana but I appreciate you taking the time to leave me a comment so I took the time to use the translator on my phone to leave a Spanish reply!

Today on "Bandit Heeler DIY!!"

[@ScubaMade]

Haha sounds good 👍🏼

[@blakey9089]

Great video but im just gunna do the whole assembly, to much fiddling for my liking, plus my rigs on 240,000 and as far as i know its never been done lol 😂 but may do just the filter next time.

[@ScubaMade]

Thanks heaps!! Yeah that sounds like a good idea anyway, and you should see the improvements in fuel economy too!

[@curtisborow6588]

Ok! So you in your car, and your mom in the new car. Wow you did not tell us that you learned how to drift from your mom!!!!

[@ScubaMade]

I didn’t tell you that I’m my mums carer because she has dementia, she definitely didn’t help me learn to drift, when I was a teenager she told me she would kick me out of the house if I ever lost my license! Luckily that didn’t happen..

[@ralphwood8818]

Mine is a 93 Legacy with 238 K miles on it. Shows no signs of fuel pump problems but the fuel guage is getting erratic. Origional pump about time to change it.

[@ScubaMade]

That’s cool to she’s still going with that many miles ay! Being a ‘93 I don’t know to much about them but the fuel filter might be in the engine bay or under the car somewhere in the fuel lines, I think having it in tank like the Forester makes it harder to replace. But the fuel pump should be similar to replace, it’s not to hard.

[@Matthew-ce9ce]

Great video! Where did you happen to get the small filter at the bottom of the fuel pump?

[@ScubaMade]

Thank you, I had some left over from what I used in my Silvia, I brought them about 6 years ago off eBay so it was awhile ago now.

[@kenny6369]

where you get the pad? in the ryco z931 package or buy separate?

[@ScubaMade]

I can’t remember exactly where I got the pad, I just had it laying around and luckily it was similar! I probably got it off eBay years ago haha!

[@marballs1]

What year is your Forester and does it have an external inline filter ?

[@ScubaMade]

It’s a 2008 SH model and I don’t think it has an inline filter.

[@captainmanic1959]

It’s a 3rd gen, in the US market it’s’ ‘09-13 so I think ‘08-12 elsewhere.

[@phiromtauch6059]

Is this the same for 2010 2.5litre model non turbo ?

[@ScubaMade]

I’m actually not exactly sure because this was the only one I’ve worked on so I don’t know much about other year models! I believe some have different style back seats too.

[@915buck]

What year is the car you are working on!!

[@ScubaMade]

That was a 2008 SH Forrester, so there’s a chance the fuel filters could be different on other year models!

[@delakidzz8131]

Hey did you notice an increase in fuel economy after the change? Mines have been giving me poor fuel economy and I'm hoping this is the problem but mines is just over 100,000 mines

[@ScubaMade]

Yeah a pretty big difference actually! I’d definitely recommend changing it!

[@patriot3431]

I had to replace my fuel cap as well, seal is bad.

[@ScubaMade]

Hope it’s all good now! Thanks for letting us know!

[@jmitch6764]

What model year is the vehicle?

[@ScubaMade]

That Subi is a 2008 model!

[@cheenovalen4655]

What year model is your Forester, Sir?

[@ScubaMade]

It’s a 2008 built Forester! One of the early ones!

[@wonderlost2023]

​@ScubaMade Is the Euro Suburu different than an American?

[@ScubaMade]

I don’t know about ether of those because I had an Australian delivered one!

[@wonderlost2023]

@ScubaMade I can confirm it's in the same place.

[@ScubaMade]

Awesome, that’s good to hear! Thank you!

[@SmokeyQuartzSpirit]

Mine is dumping a crap tone of fuel... Wont stop

[@ScubaMade]

That’s not good to hear! I hope you can fix it!

[@SmokeyQuartzSpirit]

Yeah thanks, I needed screes to cover the pipes.... Just spilling fuel everywhere.. safe to say I wasn't expecting it.... I just hope replacing it was the fix. Currently car won't start, no fuel prime.

[@ScubaMade]

Oh ok! Yeah maybe the fuel lines are cracked or something too?

[@SmokeyQuartzSpirit]

@@ScubaMade nah, just some fuel pressure pushing it all out of the pipes... Was just A lot... I even had 1/3 of a tank which apparently according to Subaru is fine. I would definitely recommend people dropping the fuel as low as possible on ever doing this. Cross fingers install isn't as filthy haha 😂

[@ScubaMade]

Ok yeah, well I had the tank pretty empty when I did it and that seemed to work well for me!
